Merely because a party has approached Competition Commission of India or is a corporate debtor in the proceedings before the NCLT, cannot be held to be a bar to raise the disputes for adjudication by way of arbitration – Parsoli Motors Works Pvt. Ltd. Vs. BMW India Pvt. Ltd. – Delhi High Court
Hon’ble High Court held that the parties may have approached NCLT or other Forums but the scope of adjudication before each of these Fora is independent and merely because the petitioner had approached Competition Commission of India or is a corporate debtor in the proceedings before the NCLT, cannot be held to be a bar to raise the disputes for adjudication by way of arbitration.
