1. Disputes having been arisen out of a MOU entered on11.05.2011 and the parties not being
able to resolve the issues through several rounds of talks, the applicant filed an application
dated 12th April, 2017 before the Chief Justice of India (CJI) for the appointment of the sole
arbitrator as per Clause 13(2) of the Memorandum. The relevant clause of the said agreement
is as follows:
CLAUSE 13: SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES 13.1: This agreement, its construction, validity
and performance shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Republic
of Korea. 13.2: Subject to Clause 13.3 all disputes or differences arising out of or in
connection with this agreement which cannot be settled amicably by the parties shall be
referred to arbitration of a sole arbitrator and the arbitration shall be conducted as per the ICC
Rules.
The respondent resists the application on the ground of the jurisdiction of the CJI and
contends that the presence of a foreign element in the process of the conduct of the intended
arbitration, and the governing law being a foreign law, there is an express exclusion of part I
of the Indian Arbitration Act and therefore CJI cannot entertain any application for
appointment of arbitrator in the present fact and circumstances of the case.

recognition in international commercial arbitration. Can a negative ruling of the jurisdiction

proper case law vis a vis relevant provisions of National and International documents.
4. Discuss the jurisdictional tussle between the Indian courts and the arbitral tribunals
concerning the arbitrability of the issues of fraud, corruption and bribery despite the issue
being long settled the world over, in favour of arbitration.
5. Discuss the issues of choice of law as to the substantive rights of the parties to an
international arbitration agreement.

judiciary ensuring least intervention in international arbitration, an efficiently drafted legal
framework within which the arbitration shall be conducted and also the growth of world class
arbitral institutions to conduct as well as encourage international arbitration especially in

1. A client meets you and provides you with the information below. You are required to draft a
complete specification to file a Patent in the Indian Patent Office.

The invention relates to Ignition foiling device which serves to interfere with the efficient.
Operation of a vehicle ignition system after a brief, predetermined period of time has elapsed
subsequent to the unauthorized start-up of the vehicle engine.

Invention

1) The ignition pulse train which flows to the ignition coil primary is interfered with in a
sporadic way, or else stopped altogether after an anomalous period of time, by a fast
acting shunting switch such as a thyristor or a transistor.

2) In this invention the ignition foiling means is disabled or shut-off by the authorized
operator of the vehicle through a separate and usually hidden key switch, or otherwise
obscured secret switch.

3) In the event that an illegal operator tries to obtain engine start-up, the Ignition foiling
means will of course not be defected and thereby the foiling control effect comes into
play.

4) Once the vehicle moves a little distance giving an illusion of engine misfire and later wilt
have no fuel to run as the fuel pipe is blocked.

5) The actual time which may elapse from the unauthorized start-up of the vehicle and the
onset of ignition fouling may be accomplished most preferably through the actual pulse
counting of the ignition pulses arriving from the ignition coil, which means there will be
a variable time elapse with each foiling operation, since the time delay depends on
engine speed.

6) The foiling time delay is determined by a clock means which produces a relatively
constant initial delay period, usually followed by an irregular series of failing intervals
which become progressively more objectionable. Therefore, the overall time elapse from
startup until the vehicle operation fails will always be somewhat different giving the
illusion of ordinary failure due to faulty vehicle operation.

7) Aside from the irregular ignition fouling effect, an irregular honking of the vehicle horn
or other such alarm device after the elapse of the initial delay period. This produces an
attention getting public outcry where the illegal operator will end up in abandoning the
vehicle.

P.T.O.

1
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The protection of a motor vehicle against Illegal confiscation, viz. theft, has been accomplished
before through the installation of a hidden fuel shutoff valve. When such a valve is turned "off',
the protected vehicle ls allowed to start up In a normal way and operate for a brief period of time
during which it consumes the limited amount of fuel contained in the carburetor bowl, etc. This
limited operation of the engine encourages the thief to drive the vehicle from its obscure location
where the thief feels safe, to a more public view where continued theft activity would be
discouraged by exposure. Furthermore, the time the vehicle operates before the limited fuel is
consumed will vary from one vehicle to another due to differences to residual fuel left after the
cutoff valve, and the vehicle's consumption rate. The time will also vary in any given vehicle
depending on the presumably illicit driver's driving style, e.g. racing the engine will consume the
limited amount of fuel more quickly than a leisurely, idle speed drive away. The inclusion of
such cutoff devices has limited popularity because it involves difficult, costly installation which
has limited variability in the choice of a good hidden location for the shutoff device.

It therefore appears that a means for producing the same kind of desired irregular time duration
limited drivability effect prior to total vehicle disablement is desirable. If such a device can be
easily installed at low cost and without inter coupling with the vehicle's fuel system. The limited
operation of the vehicle electrical ignition system is selected as the best embodiment for my
invention, in that inter coupling with the ignition system is easily undertaken, even by the
"Saturday afternoon mechanic". Since the operation is entirely electric in nature, the secret
switch can be situated in a multitude of locations unique to each operator's choice. This
advantage of course makes the switch discovery much more 'unlikely, even by a skilled potential
thief. The likelihood of easy discovery is largely determined by the ingenuity of the individual
installer's choice of location options. Additionally, the hidden switch may be key operated.

The resulting theft deterring effect which would be desirable would produce an experience quite
similar to that now produced by fuel cutoff, wherein the vehicle starts up, but then soon exhibits
erratic running behavior which shortly becomes progressively worse, or else the vehicle falters
altogether in its operation after a short period of seemingly normal operation. This false start
generally serves to enable the thief to have to expose himself in a way that should lead to his
abandonment of the theft project. It also produces the illusion of faulty vehicle operation, which
may discourage the thief.

2. After reading the specification stated below,

2. Draft an Abstract (maximum of 140 words)

A method of treatment of a grape pulp in the process for production of wines, cognac and
nonalcoholic beverages in which there is added into the pulp a purified catalytic enzyme
preparation of a culture of fungus Trichothecium roseuin having an activity of 2500 units and
taken in the amount of 0.0001 to 0.1 percent by weight, 2q and the must is separated from the
pulp.

The present invention relates to the production of wines, cognac and non-alcoholic beverages
and, more particularly, this invention relates to methods of treating the grape pulp used in this
process.

The present invention can be used for treating fruit or berry pulp for producing juice and wine
from this pulp.

At present the method of treating grape pulp for the production of wines, cognac and non-
alcoholic beverages consists in separation of a must from the pulp by means of mechanical or
physical disintegration of the berry tissue cells of a fresh or partially prealcoholized pulp or a
pulp preliminarily fermented completely or partially fermented with a subsequent alcoholization
to a definite content of alcohol for the given grade of wine.
2
The pulp treated in such a way provides a limited yield of a high-quality fraction must (free run
must, must of the first and second pressings of low-pressure grape presses), which comes to 50-
60 dais per ton of grapes depending on the grade of grapes and the ecological conditions of their
growth, while the total yield of the must accounts for about 75 dais, per ton of grapes. The yield
of the must may be increased by increasing the pressure. However, in this case the content of
suspended solids in the must, colloids, tanning and nitrous compounds is much increased. This
material considerably deteriorates the quality of the wines, particularly white and dessert wines,
champagne and cognac wines materials.

Furthermore, heat treatment of the pulp at a temperature of 60-65° C. is associated with an


increased loss of aromatics and this adversely affects the wine bouquet. The partial
alcoholization of the pulp or its fortification to a definite content of alcohol results in losses of
alcohol gg and prolongation of the process of production of wines. Complete fermentation of the
pulp in the process of production of red table wines does not always provide for making
adequately colored wines from grapes having a required amount of coloring matter.

When producing white table wines and champagne wine materials by using a mechanically
worked (pressed) pulp, the process includes the following basic operation: immediate extraction
of the must, supplying it to settling tanks, while simultaneously sulfating the must flow,
clarification of the must, decantation of the clarified must and its fermentation. Such a process
provides for a yield of a high-quality fraction within 50-60 dais, per ton of grapes, the
clarification of the must during the settling lasts about 24 hours while the yield of clarified must
accounts for not more than 60 percent of the yield of the high-quality fraction of the must. The
wines made from such a must, particularly high-grade wines, have a flat aroma and an
inadequately soft taste.

During the production of red table wines with the use of the pulp treated by mechanically or
physically disintegrating the cells of the berry tissue, the process is affected according to three
basic diagrams:

• Fermentation of the pulp up to complete fermentation of the sugar and separation of the
fermented must from the pulp;

• Heat treatment of the fresh pulp at a temperature of 60-65° C. for removing the coloring
matter there from, cooling of the pulp, extraction of the must there from and
fermentation of the must;

• Extraction of the coloring matter from the fresh pulp by means of a preferment dry wine
and further fermentation of the sugar extracted from the pulp.

1. Fransesco sold gasoline directly to retailers who were independent Fransesco retailers at
its retail tank wagon (RTW) prices. However, it granted substantial discounts to the
distributers, namely, Gogia and Donbasco. Gogia and Donbasco acted as wholesalers by
reselling some gas to independent stations and as retailers by reselling some gas in their
own stations. They did not have any significant storage facilities and Donbasco was
reimbursed for the transportation of the gas to its stations. Donbasco entered into the
retail market directly by the encouragement of Fransesco and sold gasoline at retail at
lower prices than that of the independent Fransesco retailers. Gogia purchased the gas
from Fransesco at the price that ranged from 60 to 40 below RTW price and resold it
under its name. The stations supplied by the distributers increased their sales volume;
conversely, the independent Fransesco retailers’ sales suffered a corresponding decline.
Thus, the independent Fransesco retailers instituted an action against the Fransesco
alleging that the distributer discounts violated S.4 of The Competition Act, 2002. Argue
on behalf of Fransesco and independent retailers of Fransesco and decide with the help of
case law.

without joint offering, tried a variety of increasingly desperate measure to recreate the
