Stay proceedings to carry out Arbitration agree-ment
Stay proceedings to carry out Arbitration agree-ment, the legal position with respect to the scope and meaning of s. 34 of the Arbitration Act admits of little doubt, the language of this s. being quite plain. When a party to an arbitration agreement commences any legal proceedings against any other party to the said agreement with respect to the subject-matter thereof, then the other party is entitled to ask for such proceedings to be stayed so to enable the arbitration agreement to be carried out. It is, however to be clearly understood that the mere existence of an arbitration clause in an agreement does not by itself operate as a bar to a suit in the court. It does not by itself impose any obligation on the court to stay the suit or to give any opportunity to the defendant to consider the question of enforcing the arbitration agreement, State of Uttar Pradesh v.
