Avitel Post Studioz Limited And Ors. vs Hsbc Pi Holding (Mauritius) Limited on 19 August, 2020

It is enough to state that there is a sea change between Section 8 of the 1996 Act and Section 20 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, as has been held in paras 17 to 21 of Avitel Post Studioz Ltd. v. HSBC PI Holdings (Mauritius) Ltd. [Avitel Post Studioz Ltd. v. HSBC PI Holdings (Mauritius) Ltd., (2021) 4 SCC 713] Post amendment, it is clear that the judicial authority before which an action is brought shall, if the other conditions of Section 8 are met, refer the parties to arbitration unless it finds that prima facie, no valid arbitration agreement exists. As has been held hereinabove, in the present case, the finding that is returned is correct -- a valid arbitration agreement certainly exists as the agreements that are sought to be cancelled are not stated not to have ever been entered into.
