ARUN PALLI, VIKRAM AGGARWAL
Parsvnath Developers Limited – Appellant
Versus
Devendra Singh Yadav – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
Vikram Aggarwal, J.
The appellant (M/s Parsvnath Developers Limited) assails the order dated 06.08.2022 passed by the Court of learned District Judge Rewari, vide which the application preferred by the respondents under Order VII Rule 10 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short the “CPC”) read with Section 2 (1)(e)(i) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (for short the “1996 Act”) seeking return of the objection petition preferred by the present appellant under Section 34 of the 1996 Act was allowed and the petition preferred under Section 34 was ordered to be returned for being presented in the competent Court.
2. The appeal raises an interesting, often debated but short question, for which extremely lengthy arguments were addressed by both sides. The question to be decided is as to whether the petition preferred by the appellant under Section 34 of the 1996 Act challenging the Award dated 21.09.2020 passed by the Arbitral Tribunal would be maintainable at Rewari or the same would have to be filed at Delhi, where the arbitration proceedings were conducted. The issue of “venue” and “seat” has once again been raised by the parties whi
