ORDER :
K. MURALI SHANKAR, J.
1. These Civil Revision Petitions are directed against the separate orders passed in E.P.Nos. 86 to 89 of 2018, dated 08.11.2018 on the file of the learned Principal District Judge, Kanyakumari District at Nagercoil.
2. Since the issues involved in all the revisions are one and the same, this Court deems it fit to pass common order.
3. The respondents in all the revision petitions have borrowed loans to purchase vehicles and entered into loan transactions with the petitioner finance company. The respondents-borrowers have executed hypothecation agreements as well as arbitration agreements to refer the matters for arbitration.
The executing Court cannot disregard an arbitral award as a nullity unless it has been properly challenged under the Arbitration Act, as failure to do so renders the award final and binding.
An executing court cannot question the finality of an arbitral award once it has become binding under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
The court held that the District Judge lacked jurisdiction to address arbitration matters, affirming the exclusive domain of Commercial Courts under the relevant legal frameworks.
Execution petitions for amounts above specified values must be filed in Commercial Courts, as Principal District Judges lack jurisdiction under the Commercial Courts Act.
Execution of arbitral awards must occur in the court where the original arbitration application was filed, as per Section 42 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
The enforcement of an arbitral award can be initiated anywhere in the country where the decree can be executed, without requiring a transfer of decree from the court with jurisdiction over the arbitr....
The executing court cannot go behind the decree unless it is a nullity, and re-agitating objections already dismissed in a previous petition would amount to an abuse of process of law.
