2018 (7) TMI 870 - HC - Companies LawArbitration proceedings - Held that:- In fact in the present case, it is Mrs.Sonia Khosla who has moved the petition before CLB ignoring the arbitration agreement. Interim orders were prayed for and were granted to Mrs.Sonia Khosla. It was Mr.Vikram Bakshi, one of the respondents who filed the application under Section 8 of the Arbitration Act stating that there is an arbitration agreement and the parties should resolve their disputes by the arbitration process. These proceedings cannot be said to be non-est and void ab initio as is sought to be argued. All supplementary and incidental proceedings and the said orders cannot be said to be void ab initio merely because an application was filed by Mr.Vikram Bakshi under Section 8 of the Arbitration Act and was pending adjudication. CLB did not cease to have jurisdiction. It is not clear as to how the appellant is in any manner concerned or connected with the controversy regarding the application filed under Section 8 of the Arbitration Act by Mr.Vikram Bakshi before the CLB. The petition before CLB was not filed by him. It is also the case of the appellant as stated in the present appeal that he is not a party to the agreement dated 31.03.2006 or to the ensuing arbitration proceedings. Hence, it is obvious that the appellant is not concerned with the arbitration proceedings/application. There is no merit in this present appeal and the same is dismissed.
