Act cannot be referred to arbitration for adjudication for arbitrator - Held that the clause 28 in the agreement on the case on hand is not an arbitration clause - Therefore, the appointment of an Arbitrator by the nominee of the Chief Justice has been rightly set aside in the impugned judgment by the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court - The other proceedings involved in this case, if any, pending under the provisions of the P.P. Act before the Estate Officer, the same shall be continued by him.
