Coats Viyella India Ltd. vs India Cement Ltd. And Anr. on 10 February, 2000
(d), 10, 11(f) and 13 thereof), the arbitrator held that a holistic reading of
the agreement did not show that the Petitioner was merely acting as an
agent of KBIL, whilst entering into the dealership agreement with the
Respondent. The arbitrator relied on the case of Coats Viyella India Ltd
Vs. India Cement Ltd6 in this behalf. In Coats Viyella India Ltd., the
Supreme Court, after considering the agreement as a whole, had held that
under the agreement, a privity of contract of the appellant was only with
the respondent and there was no liability on the other party, who was

Sudhir Gopi vs Indira Gandhi National Open University ... on 16 May, 2017
In Sudhir Gopi Vs. Indira Gandhi National
Open University7, Delhi High Court has held that an arbitral tribunal has
no power to lift the corporate veil. Only a court has a power to lift the
corporate veil of a company if a strong case is made out. The mere fact
that a party is an alter ego of another would not predicate an agreement to
refer the disputes to arbitration by that party under an arbitration
agreement of the other. Corporate veil cannot by that reason alone be lifted

so as to make a party, who was not party to an arbitration agreement, a
party to the reference. So also, there is no case of fraud or other special
circumstance of the kind referred to above in the present case so as to lift
the corporate veil and find out who the real party was with a view to
enforce the liability.

Prem Nath Motors Ltd vs Anurag Mittal on 14 November, 2008
8 Coming now to the purported breach of the dealership agreement on
the part of the Petitioner for non-supply of bearings on time, the arbitrator,
on construction of the agreement (clause 5), held that the Respondent was
required to place an order with the Petitioner; such order was infact placed
by the Respondent; but the Petitioner could not make the bearings
available within the time stipulated under the purchase order. The
arbitrator observed that since bearings could not be made available within
time, the Petitioner not only wrote to the Office of the Controller of Stores
of Central Railways for extension of time but undertook to deliver the
bearings in terms of the purchase order by October 2011 and requested the
Controller not to purchase the required bearings from any other stores, but
from the Respondent alone. The arbitrator observed that in view of this
assurance of the Petitioner, Central Railways had granted extension of
time to the Respondent for delivery of goods. The arbitrator held that

admittedly, the Petitioner was unable to live upto its commitment and
delivery could not be effected within even the extended time, and that led
to Central Railways formally canceling the purchase order and forfeiting
the security deposit of the Respondent and calling upon it to pay a sum
named in its termination letter. The arbitrator held that this chain of
events showed that the cancellation of the purchase order as also forfeiture
of money and liability to pay the amount referred to above incurred by the
Respondent, were a direct result of the Petitioner's failure to supply the
bearings in time in terms of the purchase order as committed and
undertaken under the terms of the dealership agreement read with the
acceptance of the purchase order. The arbitrator, in the premises, accepted
the legitimacy of the debit note raised by the Respondent for loss of actual
principal amount of tender cost and forfeiture of security deposit. No fault
can be found with either the assessment of the learned arbitrator in this
behalf or the conclusion arrived at by him on the basis of such assessment.
The arbitrator's view on this aspect is a possible view. The award in this
behalf is supported by evidence. It cannot be termed as an award based on
no evidence. The view expressed by the arbitrator cannot be said to be a
view which no fair or judiciously minded person would take or a view
which would shock the conscience of the court. In the premises, no
interference is warranted with this part of the award under Section 34 of
the Act.
