The SC allowed the appeal, set aside the Division Bench judgment and the learned Judge's order, and directed enforcement of the arbitration agreement. The Court held that an arbitration agreement was concluded by conduct and email exchanges reflected in Contract No. 061-16-12115-S, notwithstanding lack of a signature by respondent, and that respondent's acceptance and performance established binding consent including clause 32.2.
