IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.2990 of 2009 Date of Decision: 1.7.2010 Karnail Singh ......Petitioner Versus Jagpal Singh Sandhu and others .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: None for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J (Oral). Challenge in the present petition is to the order passed by the trial Court on 18.4.2009, whereby an application filed by the defendant under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (for short ‘the Act’) was allowed and the matter was referred to the Arbitrator to be appointed by defendant No.2. The petitioner has filed a suit for declaration in respect of recovery proceedings initiated by defendant No.2. In the said suit, an application was filed by defendant No.2 under Section 8 of the Act. The learned trial Court has found that the petitioner has not denied the signatures on the agreement. The agreement, inter-partes, contains an arbitration clause. Therefore, the learned trial Court has rightly referred the matter for decision by an Arbitrator in accordance with the agreement. I do not find any patent illegality or material irregularity in the impugned order, which may warrant interference by this Court in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction. Hence, the present petition is dismissed. [ HEMANT GUPTA ] 01-07-2010 JUDGE ds
