A dispute arises when one party asserts a claim and the other denies or repudiates it; mere non-payment or inactivity is insufficient. On that basis, the limitation period under article 137 of the Limitation Act, 1963 runs from the date of the first clear dispute, and the application was treated as within time. The consequence was that the matter was directed to proceed to arbitration. en-us Thu, 24 Mar 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 14:11:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=177607 An application under section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 is governed by the date when a dispute actually arises, not merely when contractual payment becomes due or work is completed.
