Karnataka High Court: <\/strong>SR Krishna Kumar, J., disposed of the petition and directed the petitioner-company to avail such remedies as available in law.<\/p>\n

The instant petition was filed by the petitioner company under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 wherein it seeks resolution of disputes with the respondents- Railways by referring the same to a sole arbitrator in terms of clause 56 of the Agreement.<\/p>\n

Counsel for petitioner Mr Sampath Bapat submitted that the dispute between the parties is arbitrable in terms of clause-56 of the Agreement entered into between the petitioner and respondents.<\/p>\n

Counsel for respondents Mr Abhinay Y. T. submitted that the statement of objections clearly mentions that the claim of the petitioner falls under the category \u2018excepted matters\u2019 as per clause-45 (b) of the Agreement and consequently, the same are not arbitrable and cannot be referred to resolution by way of appointing a sole arbitrator.<\/p>\n

The Court relied on judgment Harsha Constructions v. Union of India<\/em> (2014) 9 SCC 246 observed that excepted\/excluded matters cannot be referred to resolution by way of arbitration, since the matter in the instant case is a non-arbitrable dispute which is not capable of being referred to arbitration.<\/p>\n

The Court held \u201cthe petition deserves to be disposed off reserving liberty in favour of the petitioner-company to avail such remedies as available in law including filing a civil suit for enforcement of its claim in accordance with law.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

[Global Agency v. Union of India, Civil Miscellaneous Petition No. 7 of 2018, decided in 16-12-2020]<\/p>\n
