merely the pleadings which can be

szonstrued’-.VA as supplemental inasmuch as the revision

of the revision petitioners is that they have taken

themselves of the risk of dwelling into the merits

particularly with reference to the objections to the P.Misc.

52

of the Code would lie to this Court as against

Because of these facts and circumstances’
the law being as iaid down by the
Court in the decision reported in

497. it has to be held that:”1this_’Ccourt.

12. In View of .foregoing.VjVreasons, I hold
that these revision p;_eti’tions are not

In View of the_si.’:i.ii’ie the learned counsel for

sup;iieIIi»entaIa proceediiigs cannot be accepted and same is

question No. IV is answered holding

_ not Be avsupialemental proceedings.

Coming back to the core issue that “first

-edstaitement on the substance of the dispute”, I am of the

ex

54

material is as to whether the petitioner has
filed his first statement on the substance of the
dispute or not, if not, his application 11r1’der
section 8 of the 1996 Act, may not be
unrnaintainable”. it it it”. it

(Emphasis suppliegl ‘by me} = .1: it

It has been held by the H0n’b1e ‘a:bove”‘*–.A I

the seen that revision petitioners
have4;de1*.red rrierits of the case in respect of the
inmthe suit and hence the judgment of
1 case is to be held is in favour of the

V .’responc1en.t”herein inasmuch as the oniy issue which came
it for consideration in the said case before the H0n’ble

Siaiprerne Court was with reference to an application filed by

acontesting defendant seeking Vacating the interim Order

5

55

and incidentally delving upon the merits of the case would
amount to waiving their right under Section 8 or not and
was held in the facts of the said case in the negative.

30. However, on examination of facts in

case it is seen that revision petitioners have’-.i_’n .fa.ct’ delved

upon the merits of the case in paragraphs their» 1′.

objections as referred to supra have
their right if any to seek for above
discussion, I am of ;oVp’in.ionjthatlfxhoint No. I
formulated herein ‘answered against

the revision favour of the respondents by

holding that defeiidantsrdgzamely the revision petitioners in

_._the present suit~-..have submitted their statement on the

AV”._subst_a1ice«.of the’ dispute and thus would not be entitled to

inv=okei’the arbitration clause in exercise of their right under

‘ .Section… 8’ of H the new Act.

if * «..3l.VV”’In View of the discussion made hereinabove and

‘conclusion arrived at, it is aiso to be held that the

aw

56

revision petitioners have failed to demonstrate that they
have satisfied the ingredients of Section 8 of the Arbitration
Act, 1996 and they would be entitled to ciairnv i..th.ed’~.re1ief

thereunder.

32. One another aspect which>Vrequi:*esv– ‘noticedddfly

in the instant case is that reVision::’petitioners have “been

consistentiy appearing in
