Section-"A" 03X20
1. The Petitioner is a company registered in India under the Companies Act, 1956 and the
Respondent is a body corporate, incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. A
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated 14.8.2014 was entered into between the
parties under which the Respondent agreed to sell to the Petitioner the complete line of
the Respondent’s air quality monitors product for onward sale. As per the terms of the
agreement, the petitioner was appointed as an exclusive distributor for the products for
sale within India. However, disputes being arisen between the parties and after
receiving no reply to the notice of appointment of arbitrator, the Petitioner filed an
application under section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (A&C
Act, 1996) seeking for the appointment of a sole arbitrator under clause 17 of the MOU.
The Respondent disputed the said petition on the ground that clause 17 of the MOU
provides for arbitration administered and seated in Hong Kong and consequently the
Indian Court does not have any jurisdiction to entertain the said petition. Discuss the
maintainability of the application filed under section 11(6) of the A&C Act, 1996. The
Clause 17 of the MOU is as follows:
Clause 17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
17.1 This MoU is governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions and
courts at New Delhi shall have the jurisdiction.
17.2 Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to this MoU, including the
existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding
non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it shall be referred to and finally resolved by
arbitration administered in Hong Kong. The place of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of
arbitrators shall be one. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English language.
 17.3 It is agreed that a party may seek provisional, injunctive, or equitable remedies, including but not
limited to preliminary injunctive relief, from a court having jurisdiction, before, during and after the
pendency of the proceeding.
2. An arbitration petition was filed by the appellant seeking for the appointment of an
arbitrator under the arbitration clause of the partnership deed between the parties. An
FIR, prior to that petition was lodged by one of the parties alleging siphoning off of
funds and various other business improprieties committed by the appellant. Discuss
whether the application for the appointment of the arbitrator is maintainable or not.
3. The Respondent and the Appellants were admittedly in a contractual relationship
wherein the Respondent was assigned with the responsibility of handling advertisement
work of the Appellants. Consequent upon the differences arising between the parties,
the contract was eventually terminated by the Appellants. The Appellants released some
amount in favour of the respondent. For recovering the remaining principal amount
claimed by the Respondent as also the interest component, the Respondent approached
the Indian Newspaper Society (the INS) for intervening between the parties for settling
their dispute. During the course of the negotiations, the Appellants, through a
communication, offered lower amount as a full and final settlement of all pending dues
between the parties and paid a lower sum and described the same as - "towards full and
final settlement". After a few days of the negotiation, the respondent initiated arbitration
and requested the appellants to agree on the proposed arbitrator for certain more
unsettled issues of the delayed payment which were not brought during the course of
the negotiation. The appellants replied that by issuing full and final discharge voucher,
there was discharge of the contract by accord and satisfaction and as a result neither the
contract nor any claim survived. The appointment not being done, the respondent filed
an application before the Chief Justice of the Bombay High court for the same. Discuss
the maintainability of the application with the help of the decided case law(s)
4. Discuss that the separability presumption can be said to be the starting point for analysis
of the Choice of Law governing International Arbitration Agreement and the
International Conventions and National Legislations, by the adoption of a particular
Choice of Law Rule, do acknowledge the presumptive separability of International
Arbitration Agreements for choice of law purposes.
5. Discuss the various modes of challenging the jurisdiction of arbitrator.
6. Discuss the issue of choice of law as to the arbitration agreement of an underlying
contract.
