SYNOPSIS AND LIST OF DATES

The Hon’ble high court, undue haste, while referring the parties for

arbitration on the consideration that there exists an Arbitration Clause in

the Memorandum of Understanding dated 07.10.2019, when there is

none, raises significant questions of law as under:

Primarily, as to whether the alleged addendum dated 07.09.2019

can be read as the part of Memorandum of Understanding dated

11.08.2018 (hereinafter referred to as “MoU dated 11.08.2018”).

Because, addendum dated 08.09.2019 nowhere refers to the MoU dated

11.08.2018, and thus, can form the basis to allow petition under Section

11 (5) read with 11 (6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996

(hereinafter referred to as “Act”).

Secondly, as to whether or not the Hon’ble High Court ought to

have considered that the MoU dated 11.08.2018, when read

independently, bars the recourse under Section 11 of the Act on the

ground of limitation.

Thirdly, as to whether or not the alleged Agreement to Sell dated

05.09.2019 and 07.09.2019 are independent and separate documents and


C

cannot be read as a part of MoU dated 11.08.2018 and cannot form the

basis to allow petition under Section 11 of the Act.

11.08.2018 That the Petitioner and Respondent entered into a MoU

dated 11.08.2018, to enter into a joint venture for the

development and construction of flats upon the Petitioner

purchasing the land in question on or before 30.09.2018.

That as per the said MoU dated 11.08.2018, the

Respondent agreed to finance the

development/construction of the flats on the subject

property. That the duration of the said MoU dated

11.08.2018 was till 30.09.2018 and shall automatically

dissolve once the Joint Venture agreement for the

development of the subject property was entered between

the Petitioner and the Respondent. However, the parties

D

Agreement to Sell dated 05.10.2019 for the sale of

property of the Petitioner situated in Kurukshetra.

and marked as ANNEXURE-P-2. (Page No. 25-28)

E

30.11.2021 That the Respondent got issued two separate legal notice

09.03.2021 That the Respondent got issued a notice dated 09.03.2021

invoking arbitration clause and appointment of sole

arbitrator pursuant to Clause 8 (b) of the MoU dated

a prayer to appoint a sole arbitrator to adjudicate the

claims/disputes between the parties as per the terms of

Addendum to MOU dated 07.10.2019. In order to further secure the

recourse under Section 11 (5) read with 11 (6) of the Arbitration

and Conciliation Act, 1996 on the ground of limitation.

(d) Whether or not the Hon’ble High Court ought to consider that the

alleged Agreement to Sell dated 05.09.2019 and 07.09.2019 are

Clause 8:-

impugned judgment and documents and other orders, and is hereby

seeking leave of this Hon’ble Court to so present the present

petition.

3. That the Applicant/Petitioner hereby undertakes to furnish the

certified copy of the impugned judgment and documents and other

orders as and when directed by this Hon’ble Court.

(a) exempt the Petitioner from filing certified copy of the impugned

judgment and final order dated 29.08.2022 passed by the Hon’ble

High Court of Delhi at New Delhi in Arb. Petition No. 627/2022

and documents and other orders.
