1. The respondent No.1 (original claimant) has filed this application for deciding a preliminary issue regarding maintainability of arbitration petition filed under Sections 14, 15 and 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (hereinafter referred to as “the Arbitration Act”), with a further prayer for accepting the preliminary objection and dismissing the arbitration petition as not maintainable.
