THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18.02.2022,
THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
RP 154/22

O R D E R
This petition, seeking review of the order of this Court in
A.R.No.5/2019, has been filed by the petitioner asserting that
the submissions made before this Court and recorded in
paragraph 5 of the said order was in error.
2. Sri.Babu Paul B. - learned counsel for the petitioner,
submitted that O.S.No.11/2021 was filed by his client seeking
partition of the properties of the Firm, in which other persons
are involved; while what was agreed before this Court was for
reference of the disputes with respect to the finances of the said
Firm to arbitration. He submitted that, therefore, this Court may
clarify that the Suit in question can be continued by the parties
with respect to those issues which are not governed by
arbitration and prayed that the order in question be modified to
such extent.
3. Sri.C.S.Manilal - learned counsel appearing for the RP 154/22
respondents, agreed that the Suit between the parties takes into
account certain issues that are different from the ones over
which disputes have been impelled in the arbitration. He,
therefore, conceded that, to that extent, the order in question
can be modified.
4. When I consider the afore submissions, it is without
doubt that this Court had proceeded on the assumption - based
on the express submissions of the parties - that all the issues in
the Suit are ones which ought to be referred to arbitration.
However, since it is now submitted by both sides that the Suit
contains certain components which are not capable of being
arbitrated, I deem it appropriate to allow this Review Petition to
that limited extent.
Resultantly, I allow this Review Petition and permit the
learned Arbitrator to continue with the process of arbitration;
however, clarifying that the parties will also be at liberty to
proceed with O.S.No.11/2021 before the Sub Court, Devikulam, RP 154/22
but only with respect to those issues which are not, in any
manner, governed by arbitration.
