Specific Reference To Arbitration Clause Needed In 'Two-Contract Case' For Incorporation: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court ruled that in cases involving two contracts, an arbitration clause from an earlier contract can only be incorporated into a subsequent contract if there is a specific reference to it. This decision came in response to Murari Lal Agarwal's petition against KMC Construction Limited. The Court emphasized that explicit reference to an arbitration clause is necessary for its application, following the principles laid down by the Supreme Court in related cases.
