https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=128731 Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is mandatory where an admitted arbitration agreement covers the dispute and the application is filed before the first statement on the substance of the claim. Contesting interim or incidental proceedings, such as an injunction application, does not amount to waiver of the arbitration clause or submission to civil court jurisdiction. A dispute arising from termination of the contract remained within the arbitration clause, and the proposed blacklisting at the show-cause stage did not exclude arbitration. Procedural objections based on notice, absence of a certified copy of the agreement, or the partner's alleged resignation were rejected, and the matter was directed to arbitration. en-us Tue, 08 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 14:58:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=128731 Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is mandatory where an admitted arbitration agreement covers the dispute and the application is filed before the first statement on the substance of the claim.
