The Karnataka High Court ruled that an arbitration clause cannot be invoked for matters already adjudicated by both the Arbitral Tribunal and the judiciary.
The case involved a lease dispute where the Petitioner sought arbitration after the lease termination was upheld by courts, including the Supreme Court.
The court held that arbitration was not an available recourse as the dispute had reached finality. It emphasized that the Petitioner could seek relief only through a competent civil court.
Dismissing the petition, the court concluded that fresh arbitral proceedings on the same grounds were legally impermissible and fundamentally misconceived.
