This document contains the Supreme Court of India's judgement in the case of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. & Anr versus M/S Nortel Networks India Pvt. Ltd. The judgement addresses two key issues: the period of limitation for filing an application under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and whether a court can refuse to make a reference if claims are evidently time-barred. It is essential reading for legal professionals and businesses involved in arbitration and contract disputes, particularly concerning time limitations.
