Law: Code Of Civil Procedure, 1908.
Section: 115,Order VII Rule 11, 11-A
Law: Arbitration Act, 1940
Section: 34
Summary
Petitioners challenged trial court’s order (07.07.2025) dismissing their application to stop proceedings of a specific performance suit due to the arbitration clause in the agreement.
Trial court had relied on 2007 SCMR 886, but that case dealt with a service matter, not arbitration, making the reliance misplaced.
Petitioners argued their application should be treated as under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 (stay of proceedings), regardless of mis-citation.
