dated 09.02.2024 is annexed herewith as ANNEXURE-R/1.

PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS

1. That the present claim is a misconceived one and the same

has only been filed with the intent to mislead the Ld.

Tribunal and to harass the Respondent herein. That the

present statement of claim would be barred in view of the


latest Judgement of Hon'ble Supreme Court titled as "M/s

N.N Global Mercantile P Ltd vs M/s Indo Unique Flame

ltd and ors " as the license agreement is un stamped.

2. That, at the outset, it is submitted that the present claim is

not at all maintainable and is liable to be dismissed as

there is no cause of action against the Respondent nor has

the same been set out in the Statement of Claim. It is

submitted that the Claimant has chosen not to place the

true facts before this Ld. Tribunal. Thus, the present Claim

before the Ld. Arbitrator is liable to be dismissed.

3. That the present Claim made by the Claimant is hopelessly

time barred and hence is liable to be dismissed in

accordance with law. It is pertinent to submit herein that

the Claimant by way of the present Claim is very cleverly

trying to recover the rentals since the year 2016 which is

way beyond the limitation period of three years.

4. That the present Claim is not at all maintainable in as

much as the reliefs, which have been sought by the

Claimant are nothing but a misconceived one in as much

as the relief, as prayed, cannot at all be adjudicated upon

by this Arbitral Tribunal. It is submitted that none of the


Claim of the Claimant herein has been substantiated by

any documentary evidence or proof and the same are

nothing but only bald averments.

5. That it is respectfully submitted that the Claimant and

Respondent herein with their open eyes entered into the

License Agreement dated 27.08.2008 and thereby agreed

to follow the terms and conditions of the same in totality.

It is submitted that the Claimant had entered in to License

Agreement dated 27.08.2008 voluntarily and as per her

own free will. Moreover, the said agreement is a

commercial contract and has been made after many rounds

of negotiations. The Claimant has neither raised any

concern over any clause of the License Agreement nor

challenged any clause of the same in the present

proceedings. It is therefore, construed that both the parties

to the present Agreement have vowed to adhere strictly

with its terms and conditions in its true letters and spirit.

As per Clause 6 (f) of the License Agreement dated

27.08.2008, it has been agreed between the parties that in

any event the Licensee shall not be liable to pay any

License fee during the period in which the Licensee was

unable to use the Licensed property for any reason

whatsoever (including any Court Order etc.). The relevant


portion of Clause 6 (f) of the aforesaid License Agreement

is reproduced hereinbelow for the ready reference of this

Hon'ble Tribunal:

"f In the event the Licensed property is not allowed to be

used by the Licensee for any reason whatsoever during

the terms of this license agreement or any renewal

thereof, then the licensee shall be entitled to terminate

this agreement with immediate effect. In any event the

Licensee shall not be liable to pay any License fee during

the period in which the Licensee was unable to use the

Licensed property for any reason whatsoever (including

any Court Order etc.). The Licensee shall also be entitled

to seek refund of security deposit from Licensor. Further,

the Licensee shall also be entitled to seek damages from

the Licensor of all the charges and expenditure incurred

in finding another location and/or for setting up a

similar by the Licensee as was available at the Licensed

property. The Licensor shall pay the charges so

claimed/demanded by the Licensor without any objection,

demur, protest or contestation within 3 (three) days of

receipt of the demand being made by the Licensee."


S
It is a matter of fact that the mobile tower of the answering

Respondent herein was wrongfully sealed by the

Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

6. That it is respectfully submitted that there is an express

term well in the License Agreement with respect to

suspension of License Fee on the happening of any event

as stipulated in the abovementioned Clause 6(f) of the

License Agreement dated 27.08.2008. Hence, the present

Claim of the Claimant is not at all maintainable and is

liable to be dismissed with heavy costs. Copy of the

License Agreement dated 27.08.2008 is annexed herewith

as ANNEXURE R/2.

7 That it is respectfully submitted that the Claimant herein,

further, also created hindrance in giving access to the

mobile tower in question in the garb of some malafide and

unlawful demands which is contrary to Clause 4 (C) of the

License Agreement dated 27.08.2008. Contents of Clause

4 (C ) are being reproduced hereinbelow for the ready

reference of this Ld. Tribunal:

"The Licensor(s) shall ensure twenty four (24) hours a day

access to the Licensee, its employees, agents, associates,

security guards etc. to the licensed property and further

ensure that the access is not denied to the licensee, its


6
employees, agents associates, security guards etc. at any

time including sundays, National and other holidays and

night time."

8. That it is submitted that the present Claim filed by the

Claimant is nothing but an abuse of the process of law in

as much as the Claim is based upon a false and concocted

story making numerous vague and baseless allegations

against the Respondent.

9. That the present Claim is barred by the Doctrine of

Estoppel, Acquiescence as well as waiver.
