Sec.9 of Artbitration and conciliation Act - Jurisdiciton - Applys only to arbitration that takes place in India and has no application to arbitration which takes place out side of India =2015 S.C. msklawreports




Section 9 of the Act is limited  to
      the applications to arbitration that takes place in India and  has  no
      applicability to arbitration which takes place outside India  in  view
      of the pronouncement in  Bharat  Aluminium  Co.  v.  Kaiser  Aluminium
      Technical Services Inc.[1] inasmuch as clause 5 of the contract  which
      is the arbitration clause clearly spells out that the contract  is  to
      be governed and construed according to English law and if the  dispute
      of the claim does not exceed USD 50,000,  the  arbitration  should  be
      conducted in accordance with small  claims  procedure  of  the  London
      Maritime Arbitration Association.=
Apex court held that 
Therefore, we think it would be  appropriate  to  interpret
      the clause that it is a proper clause or substantial clause and not  a
      curial or a procedural one by which the arbitration proceedings are to
      be conducted and hence, we are disposed to  think  that  the  seat  of
      arbitration will be at London.
even
      applying the principles laid down in Bhatia International (supra)  and
      scanning the anatomy of the arbitration clause, we have arrived at the
      conclusion that the courts in India  will  not  have  jurisdiction  as
      there is implied exclusion. High court for different reason rightly set aside the order of District Judge -2015 S.C. msklawreports

Court fee - Sec.34 of A.P.C.F & S.V.Act - partition of Plaints-A and B-Schedule properties, in the manner pleaded by her, and for grant of future profits. Plaint-A Schedule comprised of, four items of immovable properties, and Plaint-B Schedule comprised of, nine items of jewellery. Pleading that the parties are in joint possession of the said properties, the petitioner paid Court-fee of Rs. 200/- under Sub-section (2) of Section 34 of the A.P. Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1956 (for short 'the Act'). The trial Court returned the plaint, through its order dated 23-6-2006, directing the petitioner herein, to pay Court fee on movable properties, on her shares, as per the Act, within the time stipulated by it.= In the instant case, the petitioner asserted that, herself and the respondents are in joint possession of the Plaints-A and B-Schedule properties. In a way, the trial Court was satisfied, that the immovable properties mentioned in Plaint-A schedule are in joint possession, and in that view of the matter, it did not insist on payment of ad-valorem Court-fee, on such items. It, however, took a different view, as regards the movable properties. Neither from the plaint, nor from the endorsement made by the trial Court, it is found that there is any distinction, as to the nature of rights claimed, in respect of Plaint-A Schedule properties, on the one hand, and Plaint-B schedule properties, on the other hand. In fact, the nature and incidence of possession, of an immovable property, gives rise to, relatively greater consequences of law, than the possession of an item of movable property. The possession of an item of immovable property can be said to be more assertive, firm and lasting, than the one, of movable property. The endorsement made by the trial Court cannot be sustained, either on law, or on facts. 2015 A.P.(2006)MSKLAWREPORTS
