             Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, as amended from time to
             time including provisions in force at the time the reference is

      5.8.   Where the arbitration award is for payment of money, not

      5.10. The parties agree to comply with the awards resulting from
             arbitration and waive their rights to any form of appeal insofar
             as such waiver can validly be made.
10. That in view of the above the parties have agreed to resolve their
   disputes by way of arbitration and have decided to appoint an Arbitral
   Tribunal consisting of Three ld. Arbitrator where the amount of dispute
   exceeded Rs. 15 Lacs and above to adjudicate upon the dispute which
   has arisen between the parties.
11. That the Respondents have failed to perform their part of the agreement
   though the applicant has performed it’s part of the obligations and
   adhered to it. It is further relevant to submit here that the respondent
   has been delaying and evading to appear before the forums wherein the
   respondent has been asked to appear in connection with the dispute with
   the applicant herein with a motive to frustrate the claim of the applicant
   which will be a loss to the govt. exchequer.
12. That in gross violation of the terms of the contractual agreement, the
   applicant   has   been   subjected   to   harassment,    disturbances    and
   continuous losses due to one reason or the other by the respondent. The
   Applicant fears that Respondents may abscond or may become traceless
   which is evident from the fact that the the respondent only appeared
   before the Ld. Court of Judicial Magistrate after the Ld. Court issued Non
   Bailable Warrants against the proprietor of the respondent firm. It is
   further submitted that till date the respondent firm proprietor has not
   appeared before the Hon’ble Trial Court in Patna and in all the likelihood
   the Ld. Trial Court would initiate proceedings under Section 82 and
   Cetion 83 of Cr. P.C. on next date of hearing.
13. That it is also clear from the act of the respondent that rather than
   appointing its arbitrator, the respondent kept silent all the time and only
   when the Ld. Tribunal was constituted then appeared and challenged the
   appointment of the arbitral tribunal, thus it becomes evident that the
   respondent is making all its efforts to frustrate the legitimate claim of the
   applicant by adopting delaying tactics.
14. That it is further relevant to submit here that the respondent after nearly
   reaching to the settlement in the Conciliation proceeding, withdrew from
   the conciliation process and thereafter once the conciliation proceedings
   were closed then again with ulterior motive approached Hon’ble High
   Court for issuance of directions for commencing or continuing the
   conciliation proceedings. This reflects that the respondent is trying to
   misappropriate the amount due upon the respondent by its acts by
   delaying the proceedings.
15. That after the conciliation proceedings failed the Petitioner invoked
   arbitration clause and in compliance of the agreed procedure for
   appointment of arbitrator as enumerated in arbitration clause 5 of the
   agreement, the petitioner herein vide its letter No. 2013/IRCTC/Rail
   Neer/275 dated 11-07-2014 requested the Respondent to nominate its
   nominee to act as Arbitrator on its behalf within ten days from the panel
   of Arbitrators so provided to the respondent by the Competent Authority
   in compliance of the procedure as laid down in Clause 5 of the Tender
   Document which contained the Arbitration Agreement between the
   parties.
16. That in terms of Section 11(4) of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996,
   in an arbitration, if the parties fail to appoint an arbitrator within thirty
   days (30 days) from the receipt of the request to do so from the other
   party then the appointment shall be made, upon the request of a party,
   by the Hon’ble Chief Justice of the Hon’ble Supreme Court or as the case
   may be by the Hon’ble Chief Justice of the Hon’ble High Court or any
   person or institution designated by him.
17. That the cause of action arose in New Delhi as the agreement between
   the parties was entered into in New Delhi and also as per Clause 5.5 (f)
   the parties have agreed to agitate its disputes in Delhi.
18. That the aforesaid cause of action has arisen in New Delhi as the
   agreement was arrived at New Delhi and the part payments were made
   from time to time by the respondent and accepted in New Delhi. The
   parties have also agreed and accepted in the agreement to sell that only
   the Courts in Delhi would have jurisdiction to entertain the dispute.
   Therefore this Hon’ble Court has territorial jurisdiction to try and
   entertain the Petition.
19. That it is most humbly submitted that the cause of action arose on 11-
   07-2014 when the petitioner invoked arbitration and respondent failed to
   appoint arbitrator.
20. The Petitioner had commenced the Arbitration proceedings against the
    Respondent however in view of the order passed by the Ld. Tribunal
   ruling on its own jurisdiction wherein it held that it lacks jurisdiction to
    proceed with the arbitration proceedings.
21. That the cause of action continue to arise in favor of the petitioner in as
   much as the Ld. Tribunal has refused to continue with the arbitral
   proceedings in view of its lack of jurisdiction and till date the respondent
    has failed to appoint its arbitrator.
22. That the petitioner has not filed any petition u/s 11 of the Arbitration &
   Conciliation Act, 1996 nor there is any petition pending relating to the
   subject matter of the above captioned petition before any court of law or
    before this Hon’ble Court or in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.
23. That states and submits that the annexures filed alongwith the present
    petition are true copies of its originals.
24. That for the purposes of court fees, the pecuniary jurisdiction of this
   Hon’ble Court is fixed above Rs.1 crore as the petitioner is claiming more
   than Rs. 5,34,74,373/- (Rupees Five Crores Thirty Four Lacs Seventy
   Four Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Three only)from the
   respondent and as such the requisite court fees of Rs.20/-is being
    affixed on the present petition.
25. That the instant petition is a commercial matter of more than Rs.1 crore
   pecuniary value and the subject matter of the dispute is a commercial
   dispute as defined in section 2(1)(c) of the Commercial Courts,

26. That the present petition is bona fide and it is in the interest of justice
   that the same may kindly be allowed in terms of the relief sought herein.
                                    PRAYER
