Madhya Pradesh High Court:<\/strong> Petitioner had filed this petition before a Bench of Subodh Abhyankar, J., under Article 226 of the Constitution of India against the order passed by the respondent.<\/p>\n

It was directed by the respondent that preference should be given to the warehouses of MP Warehousing and Logistic Corporation if allotment of warehouses occurs and after exhausting the same, other warehouses of private parties may be used, which were taken on rent. Petitioner submitted that he had taken a loan from SBI for construction of a warehouse and since the order of preference to the warehouses of MPWLC only was passed, petitioner could suffer undue loss despite entering into an agreement with the Warehousing Corporation. Thus, impugned order was not justified.<\/p>\n

High Court found the arbitration clause in the agreement between petitioner and respondents according to which the validity of impugned order is a dispute and petitioner should have gone for arbitration. Accordingly, since there was an alternate remedy available, the present petition was dismissed as the Court could not invoke its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
