1999 (9) TMI 831 - HC - Companies Law

Summary

The High Court of Allahabad dismissed a petition under section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956, where the applicant's objections regarding jurisdiction and arbitration clause were rejected. The court ruled that the complaint was not barred by the arbitration clause as it pertained to the vacation of a house, not a dispute related to services. The court also held that the liability under section 630 is of a criminal nature and not maintainable as a civil suit. The petition was deemed without merit and dismissed.
