Referral Courts Can't Indulge In Enquiry Into Whether Claims Are Time-Barred: Calcutta High Court

The Calcutta High Court has held that referral courts under the Arbitration Act cannot indulge in an enquiry into whether claims are time-barred. The court stated that the issue of limitation should be decided by the arbitral tribunal itself. This ruling clarifies the scope of court intervention in arbitration matters and reinforces the principle of party autonomy.
