2 (“ Vidya Drolia II”), the Supreme Court has settled the dust on whether landlord-tenancy disputes under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (“ TP Act”) are arbitrable under the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996 (“ Arbitration Act”). Overruling many of its own as well as other High Courts’ judgments, the Court in Vidya Drolia II has set out the broad principles on which arbitrability of disputes may be decided. Applying the principles, the Court held that landlord-tenant disputes under TP Act, and not any special statute (such as state-specific rent legislations, etc.), would be arbitrable. Additionally, the Vidya Drolia II judgment also demarcates the scope of inquiry by courts in determining questions of arbitrability at the pre-arbitration / reference stage under Section 8
