M/S.Naveena Narmada Shopping Complex v. M/S.Narmada Consumer Stores Pvt. Ltd.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court allowed appeals against a first appellate court order remanding three suits for arbitration. The court held that referring disputes to arbitration after parties proceeded fully in suit to trial and obtained a common decree is impermissible given the conduct amounting to waiver and estoppel.
What did the court decide?
The order of remand passed by the first appellate court is set aside. All the appeals are allowed. Parties shall appear before the first appellate court on 10/2/2022 for disposal within three months.
