has been awarded.
BRIEF FACTS
C. But, in our view that has to be the logical deduction from TRF
Ltd. Paragraph 50 of the decision shows that this court was
concerned with the issue, inverted, whether the Managing
Director, after becoming ineligible by operation of the law, is he
still eligible to nominate an Arbitrator. The ineligibility referred
to therein, was a result of operation of law, in that a person
having an interest in the dispute, or in the outcome or decision
thereof, must not only be in eligible to act as an arbitrator, but
must also not be eligible to appoint anyone else as an arbitrator
and thus that such person cannot and should not have any role
in charting out any course to the dispute resolution by having
the power to appoint an arbitrator. The next sentences in the
paragraph further show that cases where both the parties could
nominate respective arbitrators of their choice were found to be
completely a different situation. The reason is clear that
whatever advantage a party may derive by nominating an
arbitrator of its choice, would get counterbalanced by equal
power with the other party. But, in a case where only one party
has a right to appoint a Sole Arbitrator, its choice will always
have an element of exclusivity in determining or charting the
course for dispute resolution. Naturally, the person who has an
interest in the outcome or decision of the dispute must not have
the power to appoint a sole arbitrator. That has to be taken as
the essence of the amendment brought in by the Arbitration and
Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015 (Act 3 of 2016) and
recognised by the decision of this court in TRF Ltd. Hence, in
view of the aforesaid provisions of law and judgment of the
Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the impugned Arbitral Award is
liable to be set aside.
D. That the Impugned Award has been passed under fraud played
by Respondent No. 1 before the Ld. Arbitrator. The Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India in a case titled as “S.P. Chengalvaraya
Naidu (Dead) by LRs V/s Jagannath (Dead) by LRs & Ors.
(II 1993 BC 546 SC)” held that “it is the settled proposition of
law that a Judgement or Decree obtained by playing fraud on
the court is nullity and nonest in the eyes of law. Such a
Judgement/Decree by the first court or by the highest court has
to be treated as nullity by every court, whether superior or
inferior. It can be challenged in any court even in the collateral
proceedings” .
E. Because the petitioners were not given proper notice about the
ex-parte proceedings by the Ld. Sole Arbitrator. That under the
legal laws, it is an established fact that the omission in giving
notice to a party before proceeding, ex-parte is a serious
irregularity in the procedure and amounts to miss conduct. It is a
salutary principle of Natural justice that nobody should be
condemned unheard.
J. That the Respondent No. 1 has suppressed the real fact and
misled the Ld. Sole Arbitrator that signature of the Petitioners
were taken on certain documents by the Respondent No. 1
without disclosing the averments and facts mentioned in those
documents , moreover, the copy of the said alleged agreement
dated 16.12.2022 was never supplied to the Petitioners which
clearly shows that said alleged agreement was not valid as the
same had been executed by the Petitioners under influence, force
and fraud by the Respondent No. 1, therefore, due to the illegality
of the alleged agreement, the impugned Arbitral Award is liable to
be set aside on this ground alone.
10. That the Petitioners have not filed any other appeal/revision or
proceedings in this Hon’ble Court or any other court challenging the
impugned Award/Order. The Petitioner has no other remedy
available to it other than to approach the Hon’ble Court by way of
the present Petition.
11. That the petition is within the period of limitation as the Impugned
Arbitral Award was passed on 16.12.2022 & Petitioners have filed
the present Petition before the completion of 90 days from the date
of passing of Impugned Award. Therefore, the present petition is
well within limitation as per law.
PRAYER:-
It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court may
kindly be pleased to allow the Application/Petition of the Petitioners,
and
IV. Any other or further orders or orders which this Hon’ble court may
deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the present
case may also be passed in favour of the petitioners and against the
respondents.
