Reliance was also placed on three decisions of Asian High Courts in Bihari Diwan Singh vs Jaffe & Sons Dhiraj Lal vs Sir Jacob Behrans & Sons and M/s Vasanji Navj vs K.P.C. Spinners in all of which more of less the same view has been taken that when a suit on a negotiable instrument issued in payment of price of goods sold under a contract and accepted by the seller is brought the action should not be stayed because of the arbitration clause contained in the original commercial contract; in the last case the Madras High Court has observed that even if the suit was traced to the original contract and the plaint referred to antecedent facts which gave arise to the issue of the cheques by the defendant in favour of the plaintiff the arbitration clause could not come into play as the suit was on dishonored cheques and there was no dispute as regards the quality of the goods or quantum of the sale consideration.
