Hence, the petitioner is not entitled to any payment whatsoever in respect of the contract and is liable to reimburse the payments already made. Therefore, there is no basis to invoke arbitration clause,&#8221; OC contended.<\/p>\n<p>The bench, however, rejected OC&#8217;s contention saying the correspondence placed by Swiss Timing on record showed that not only the firm but also the ambassadors of the various governments had made considerable efforts to resolve the issue without having to take recourse to formal arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>But, it was when all these efforts failed, the firm communicated its intention to OC to commence arbitration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I must also notice here that the defence of the contract being void is now-a-days taken routinely along with the other usual grounds, to avoid\/delay reference to arbitration. In my opinion, such ground needs to be summarily rejected unless there is clear indication that the defence has a reasonable chance of success.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the present case, the plea was never taken till the present petition was filed in this court. Earlier, the respondents (OC) were only impressing upon the petitioners (Swiss Timing) to supply certain information. Therefore, it would be appropriate, let the Arbitral Tribunal examine whether there is any substance in the plea of fraud now sought to be raised by the respondents,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court has allowed the arbitration plea of Swiss Timing Limited against Organising Committee (OC) of the 2010 Commonwealth Games and also nominated two of its former judges as chairman of the Arbitral Tribunal and second arbitrator for resolving the disputes.
