The Respondent <\/p>\n<p>    also   executed   and   delivered   an   irrevocable   power   of   attorney   dated   1st <\/p>\n<p>    March, 2008 in favour of the Petitioner for necessary acts arising out of the <\/p>\n<p>    said   agreement.   The   said   power   of   attorney   was   also   registered.   The <\/p>\n<p>    averments  made  in Para 14 of the  Petition  are not substantially denied, <\/p>\n<p>    except   now   raising   the   plea   that   the   signatures   on   the   General   Body <\/p>\n<p>    Resolution   are   dishonest,  fraudulent     with   intention   to   create  valid  and <\/p>\n<p>    binding   resolution   and   the   agreement.   The   issue   with   regard   to   the <\/p>\n<p>    fabrication   of   the   document   and\/or   of   forged   signature   is   a   matter   of <\/p>\n<p>    detailed   trial   and   inquiry   before   the   Arbitral   Tribunal.   The   existence   of <\/p>\n<p>    document, in view of above, itself is not in dispute and also the Arbitration <\/p>\n<p>    Clause. The challenge by reply, is to the validity and\/or execution of those <\/p>\n<p>    documents.\n<\/p>\n<p>    25           Therefore, to say there exists no agreement or valid agreement or <\/p>\n<p>    Arbitration   clause,   in   view   of   above   itself   is   unacceptable.

In that <\/p>\n<p>    case also the submission was that MOU is not enforceable and not binding <\/p>\n<p>    agreement.  I have already held in para 27, 28 as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                 &#8220;27.
