Arbitration

Arbitration—Lease deed containing arbitration agreement not registered—Effect—Held, an arbitrator can no doubt be appointed in regard to any disputes relating to the lease deed—But as the lease deed, in the instant case,  was not registered, the Arbitrator can not rely upon the lease deed or any term thereof and the lease deed cannot affect the immovable property which is the subject matter of the lease nor be received as evidence of any transaction affecting such property—Therefore, the Arbitrator will not be able to entertain any claim for enforcement of the lease—Registration Act, 1908, Sections 17 and 49.
