M/S. Abhibus Services India Pvt. ... vs Pallavan Transport Consultancies ... on 5 January, 2021
The decision turns upon a construction of the arbitration
agreement as an agreement which binds parties to it. The decision
in Prasad [S.N. Prasad v. Monnet Finance Ltd., (2011) 1 SCC
320 : (2011) 1 SCC (Civ) 141] evidently involved a guarantee, where the
guarantor who was sought to be impleaded as a party to the arbitral
proceeding was not a party to the loan agreement between the lender and
borrower. The loan agreement between the lender and borrower
contained an arbitration agreement. The guarantor was not a party to
that agreement.
