Arbitration clauses do not bar an operational creditor from pursuing the statutory insolvency remedy, even where arbitration is available or has been initiated, provided debt and default are established. A settlement amount arising from disputes connected with the supply of raw cotton constitutes operational debt because it is a claim in respect of goods; the claimant is therefore an operational creditor. A damages claim raised only in reply to the demand notice, without prior genuine adjudicatory or arbitral pursuit and supported only by limited correspondence, is not a pre-existing dispute. The rejection of the operational debt application was quashed, and admission and further proceedings were directed in accordance with law, including moratorium.
