The disputes and differences between the parties have arisen out of the Channel Finance Agreement dated 10 September 2018, Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Facility Scheme Agreement dated 18 December 2020 & Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Facility Scheme Agreement dated 7 April 2022. All the three Agreements contain Arbitration Clauses. The seat and venue of the Arbitration is at Mumbai. The Petitioner has invoked Arbitration vide notice under Section 21 of the Arbitration Act on 18 June 2025. Respondents have failed to respond to the invocation notice of arbitration.

¶19

Mr. Sequeira submits that an amount of Rs. 5,50,41,649.32/is due and payable by the Respondents under the Agreement.

¶20

It appears that by order dated 19 September 2025 this court has already granted ad-interim measures in terms of prayer clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of Commercial Arbitration Petition No. 641 of 2025. At this stage, Mr. Sequeira submits that if the Arbitral Tribunal is constituted by continuing the ad-interim order dated 19 September 2025, the Petitioner shall press for further interim measures before the Arbitral Tribunal under Section 17 of the Arbitration Act.

¶21

This Court is prima facie satisfied about existence of Arbitration Agreement between the parties. In that view of the matter it would be just and proper to constitute Arbitral Tribunal of sole Arbitrator.
