https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195584 A company petition alleging oppression and mismanagement under sections 397 and 398 of the Companies Act, 1956 was referable to arbitration because the dispute was inseparable from an agreement containing a valid arbitration clause. The arbitration request was filed before the respondents' first substantive statement, so the application under section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 was maintainable. Allegations of statutory non-compliance were insufficient to exclude arbitration where the reliefs effectively sought enforcement of the agreement. The Board therefore declined to retain the petition for adjudication and directed reference to arbitration. en-us Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 04 Nov 2017 14:54:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195584 A company petition alleging oppression and mismanagement under sections 397 and 398 of the Companies Act, 1956 was referable to arbitration because the dispute was inseparable from an agreement containing a valid arbitration clause.
