FACTUAL BACKGROUND
3. The present proceedings arise from a long-standing dispute between two groups of the Hamdard family regarding the administrative control of Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences & Research („HIMSR‟), which, under the Family Settlement Deed („FSD‟) dated 22.10.2019 and its Amended FSD dated 21.02.2020, was placed under the control of the Medical Relief & Education Committee („MREC‟) of the Hamdard National Foundation („HNF‟), represented by the Decree Holders. The below mentioned chart shows the distribution as per the FSD.
HAMDARD NATIONAL SPONSORING BODY
FOUNDATION
HNF (MREC)
SUB-COMMITTEES &

ALLIED HIMSR and its (deemed to be INSTITUTIONS Associate Hospital University)
4. As per Clause 25 of the FSD, the assets and liabilities of HNF were to be managed by 2 independent committees namely Hamdard Education and Cultural Aid Committee (“ HECA ”) and MREC. As per Clause 26 of the FSD, HECA was to be under the control of the judgement debtors and MREC was to be under the control of the decree holders. As per Clause 27 of the FSD, both HECA and MREC, were to function independently and not interfere with each others working in any manner.
5. A methodology was put in place to ensure smooth implementation of the FSD, under which the other signatories assumed control of the Jamia Hamdard (Deemed to be University) (“JHDU”) while the decree holders were entrusted with complete administrative, academic, and financial control of HIMSR. Accordingly, the highest executive body of the JHDU passed a resolution dated 03.07.2021 formally adopting the FSD and operationalising this arrangement.
6. Disputes arose regarding the functioning of HIMSR, alleging that certain signatories, along with the JHDU, sought to usurp control of the institution in violation of the FSD.
7. The Court, by its detailed judgment dated 20.09.2022, referred the said disputes to the learned Arbitrator and directed the parties
