Specific Exclusion Clause In Agreement Renders Dispute Non-Arbitrable: Punjab & Haryana High Court

The Punjab and Haryana High Court held that a specific exclusion clause in an agreement renders the dispute non-arbitrable. In this case, the parties had entered into a contract with an exclusion clause that excluded certain disputes from arbitration. The court ruled that such clauses must be respected, and the dispute in question could not be resolved through arbitration. This decision highlights the importance of clear and precise contract terms, ensuring that exclusion clauses are given effect when disputes arise and arbitration is not applicable.
