M/S N.N. Global Mercantile Private ... vs M/S Indo Unique Flame Ltd. on 25 April, 2023
15] Coming to the issue of arbitrability in view of the allegations and
counter allegations made between the parties alleging fraud and forgery, this
aspect of the matter has also been settled by the Apex Court in Interplay
between Arbitration and Agreements (supra) and subsequently, decided and
followed in other judgments as well as the judgments of the Apex Court
rendered in N.N. Global Mercantile Private Ltd vs. Indo Unique Flame Limited
and Others reported (2021) 4 SCC 379. In the said matter, the Apex Court
clearly held that all civil and commercial disputes either contractual or non-
contractual which can be adjudicated upon by Civil Court, in principle, can be
adjudicated and resolved through arbitration, unless it is excluded either
expressly by a statute or by necessary implications. The Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1996 does not exclude any category of dispute as being non
arbitrable. The Apex Court went on to set down certain forms of disputes which
are considered to be non-arbitrable disputes such as (i) relating to rights and
liabilities which give rise to or arise out of criminal offences, (ii) matrimonial
disputes relating to divorce, judicial separation, restitution of conjugal rights and
child custody, (iii) matters of guardianship, (iv) insolvency and winding up, (v)
testamentary matters, such as the grant of probate, letters of administration
and succession certificates; and (vi) eviction or tenancy matters governed by

special statutes where a tenant enjoys special protection against eviction and
specific courts are conferred with the exclusive jurisdiction to deal with the
dispute.
Datar Switchgears Ltd vs Tata Finance Ltd. & Anr on 18 October, 2000
16] In the facts of the present case, the allegation of fraud is still
under investigation and no charges have yet been filed against the respondent
on the basis of the FIR lodged by the petitioner. That apart, the Apex Court as
well as this Court has time and again held that the jurisdiction of the arbitrator
is fairly wide and it is open to the arbitrator to even consider the arbitrability of
any dispute. The referral Court's jurisdiction in the matter of arbitration is
extremely limited. All the referral Court is required to do is to examine the
existence of a valid arbitration agreement. Unless the dispute which are sought
to be referred for arbitration are specifically excluded under any statute or in the
agreement itself, the question of arbitrability of any or all of the disputes are to
be left open to be decided by the arbitrable tribunal itself. Under such
circumstances, this Court is of the view that the contentions raised by the
respondent are not tenable and the same are therefore rejected. Since the
respondent did not respond to the notice dated 29.11.2024 issued under the
Section 21 of the Arbitration And Conciliation Act, 1996, within the period
prescribed, the respondents are denuded of their right to appoint an arbitrator
as has been held by the Apex Court in Datar Switchgears Ltd. Vs. Tata Finance
Ltd. reported in (2000) 8 SCC 151. Under such circumstances, this Court under
the authority given under the Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act,
1996 appoints Shri Mrinmoy Kumar Bhattacharjee, retired District and Sessions
Judge, Assam to be appointed as an arbitrator to decide the disputes arising
between the parties. This appointment is prospective subject to furnishing of

written declaration as required under Section 12 (1)(b) of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1996. A copy of this order be marked to Shri Mrinmoy Kumar
Bhattacharjee, retired District and Sessions Judge, Assam by the Registry of this
Court. The parties are also permitted to furnish a copy of this order and the
place it before Shri Mrinmoy Kumar Bhattacharjee, retired District and Sessions
Judge, Assam.
