Orissa High Court:<\/strong> K. R. Mohapatra J., dismissed the appeal being devoid of merits.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The facts of the case are such that a \u2018Request for Proposal\u2019 (RFP) by the Respondent – Berhampur Development Authority (BDA) for development of Integrated Commercial \u2013 cum – Residential Complex in Berhampur, the Appellant had participated in the bid and became the highest bidder having quoted an amount of Rs 9.40 crore for a project based on the PPP model i.e. Public-private partnership. The Appellant Company deposited 25% of the bid amount and thereafter an LOI was issued in its favour for the remaining amount and execution of the project within 180 days, failing which the LOI was cancelled. Assailing the same, petition was filed wherein the Court directed the petitioners to pay the remaining bid amount within 2 weeks and in the meanwhile restricted the respondent company to not issue any work order to anybody in view of the said payment, failing which the order will stand vacated. The Appellant failed to make the payment subsequent to which filed a petition under Section 9 of Arbitration Act which was disposed off stating non-maintainability. Aggrieved by this order, the present appeal has been filed.<\/p>\n

Counsel for the appellants submitted that there is an arbitration clause to resolve the dispute between the parties arising out of the contract in question. It was further submitted that W.P. (C) No.8653 of 2015 has been filed assailing the action of the Respondent in cancelling the LOI unilaterally. Thus, the pendency of the writ petition does not affect in anyway the maintainability of the petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration Act, as the cause of action for filing of both the petitions is completely different.<\/p>\n

Counsel for the respondent submitted that neither any agreement could be executed between the parties nor could it be registered as required under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 in order to make the draft agreement a concluded contract between the parties, hence Clause- 32.2 of the Part-II of the draft agreement cannot confer any right on the Appellant to invoke the arbitration clause.<\/p>\n

The Court relied on National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation v. BSPL Infrastructure Limited<\/em>, (2019) 15 SCC 25<\/a> and P.S.A. Mumbai Investments PTE. Limited v. Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust<\/em>, (2018) 10 SCC 525<\/a> wherein it was observed that the Appellant has not filed any written agreement and in absence of any concluded contract no right can be conferred on the parties to invoke the arbitral clause.<\/p>\n

The relevant para is stated below:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em><\/strong>14. Under Section 7 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 in order to convert a proposal into a promise, the acceptance must be absolute and unqualified. It is clear on the facts of this case that there is no absolute and unqualified acceptance by the Letter of Award \u2013 two or three very important steps have to be undergone before<\/em> there could be said to be an agreement which would be enforceable in law as a contract between the parties.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Court observed \u201cThe object of Section 9 is to make interim arrangement to protect the lis before or during arbitral proceeding or at any time after making of the arbitral award. Since an interim protection has already been granted by this Court on 11.05.2015 in W.P.(C) No.8653 of 2015, a proceeding under Section 9 of the Arbitration Act is not maintainable. It is a different issue that the Appellant did not respect the interim protection granted by this Court, by complying with the condition to make it operative. Even otherwise, the demeanor of the Appellant does not entitle it to a protection under Section 9 of the Arbitration Act<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Court thus held that in view of the ratio decided in the judgments relied, it is crystal clear that in order to invoke the arbitration clause and make it operational, there must be a concluded contract between the parties as envisaged under Section 7 of the Contract Act, 1872 which is conspicuously absent in the case at hand<\/p>\n

In view of the above, appeal was dismissed.[Forum Projects Private Limited v. Berhampur Development Authority, 2020 SCC OnLine Ori 925<\/b><\/a>, decided on 02-12-2020]<\/p>\n
