The main point discussed by the Supreme Court in the judgment is the validity of the petitioner's liability to pay a sum of Rs. 6,000,000/- as claimed by the respondent based on a pro-note and a cheque. The court examined evidence including the agreement between the parties, the admission of liability by the petitioner, and the decision of arbitrators confirming the amount due.
