Analysis and Conclusion:
The sources collectively emphasize that in private law disputes, especially those involving monetary claims arising from contractual agreements, courts generally favor arbitration over writ petitions. Writ courts lack jurisdiction over such disputes unless there are public law elements. Arbitration clauses, when clear, are enforceable and provide an effective mechanism for dispute resolution. Courts uphold the autonomy of arbitration agreements, and monetary claims related to private contracts are best resolved through arbitration or civil courts, not writ petitions.
