The Hon’ble Supreme Court rejected the submission that ‘any party to a dispute’ is confined to a ‘supplier’ who has filed a memorandum under Section 8 of the MSMED Act, 2006. The Hon’ble Court has also explained that the issue(s) that have arisen in the decisions of this Court in Silpi Industries v. Kerala State Road Transport Corporation and Gujarat State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd. v. Mahakali Foods Pvt. Ltd. were very different from the issue that has arisen for our consideration. However, for clarity and legal certainty, the Court has directed the appeal be placed before the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India for referring the matter to a bench of three Judges for an authoritative pronouncement.
