remedy provided for in Section 12A of the said Act. In
this context it must be noted that ordinarily a
counter-claim can only be entertained provided such
counter-claim is filed along with the written
statement in terms of Order VIII Rule 6A of the Code.
Such claim/cause of action may arise not only before the
filing of the suit but even after filing of the suit provided
the same accrues before the defendant has delivered his
defence or before the time limited for delivery of defence
has expired. Having regard thereto, if the defendant
chooses not to file counter-claim and waits for
having its remedy by the way of mediation, the
defendant may lose its valuable right of filing a
counter-claim, since the said Act provides for outer
time limit within which written statement is required
to be filed. This apart, considering the object of the
said Act, which is to ensure speedy resolution of the
commercial dispute, any steps taken by the
defendant to delay the filing of the written statement
by reasons of pendency of a pre-institution mediation
would defeat the very object for which the said Act
has been enacted. Having regard thereto, I am of the
view that there is no requirement in law for
proceeding with pre-institution mediation prior to
filing of a counter-claim. Similar view has also been
taken by the Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court at
Delhi in the case of Sanjana Agarwal (supra).

brought to the Civil Procedure Code to deal with the
commercial disputes, only to highlight that the trial of
the commercial dispute suits is put on fast track for
disposal of the suits expeditiously. Various
provisions of the Act referred to above and the
amendments inserted to the Civil Procedure
Code by the Schedule is to ensure speedy
resolution of the commercial disputes in a time
bound manner. The intent of the legislature seems
to be to have a procedure which expedites the
disposal of commercial disputes and thus creates
a positive environment for investment and
development and make India an attractive place
to do business."
