been acting with grave malice towards the Petitioners - and is
engaging himself in various acts of omission and commission
thereby seeking / attempting to deprive / prejudice the Petitioners
even with respect to the lesser share of 23% in the family business
agreed to by the Petitioners for larger interest and growth of the
family, and also to obstruct him in operation of the Karol Bagh
showroom [ at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta road ] being the only
showroom [ out of the showrooms owned by the family on the date
of the family settlement ] becoming available to him under the
family settlement.

liabilities of the Banks by Sh. Kamal Gupta and family, was also to
make free the showroom falling to the share of the Petitioners, from
any encumbrance etc.

14. The Petitioners humbly submit that on the one hand, Sh. Kamal
Gupta has proceeded to eliminate / discharge liabilities towards the
Banks - where assets falling to his share are encumbered /
mortgaged / made collateral etc. He has repaid the agreed amounts
with the Banks and has got free almost all the immovable properties
/ assets falling to his share and on the other hand, he has not
undertaken and discharged his liabilities under the family settlement
in relation to the immovable properties / assets falling to the share of
the Petitioners.

15. On the contrary, he has been indulging in acts of omission and


commission in ensuring that somehow, the immovable properties /
assets falling to the sharee Petitioners remain entangled i~e

17
way or the other including by deliberately delaying the discharge of
all such liabilities whereby the immovable properties I assets falling
to the share of the Petitioners become absolutely free from any
encumbrance I charge etc.

16. The Petitioners most humbly submit that it has been recently given
to understand that for the reasons beneficial to the interest of Sh.
Kamal Gupta and his family, it appears that Sh. Kamal Gupta has
discharged the loan of the company - P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd., with
Axis Bank. The title documents of the showroom at 2700, Desh
Bandhu Gupta Road, Karol Bagh [ falling to the share of the
Petitioners] - have been taken away by him from the said Bank
recently. Instead of handing over the title documents of the Karol
Bagh showroom mentioned above to the Petitioners, these
documents have been retained by Sh. Kamal Gupta for his ulterior
motives.

[ viz. Respondent Nos. 7, 8 and 9 ] as on 30.09.2014 were also

decided to be istri uted / allocated amongst the family members as

A,t- tR~~r
48-
per the proportionate share of the family members in terms of the

family settlement.

28. That the Stock Summary of Stock held by the three entities

stipulated that the value ofthe stock held by them as on 30.09.2014

was as under:-

S.No. Entity Stock as on


30.09.2014 [ as per
Stock Summary I

l. P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. Rs.


.2,65,71,33,429/-

2. P.P. Jewellers (Delhi) Rs. 45,40,11,120/-

3. P.P. Jewellers (Exports) Rs.


1,88,54,54,889/-

TOTAL 4,99,65,99,440/-

29. In other words, as on 30.09.2014, as per the stock summary ofthe

three entities, stocks worth approx. Rs. 500 crores were available

with the said three entities, and the Petitioners' share of23% in the

same, comes to approx. Rs. 115 crares [ as per the gold / jewellery

weight as well as rates of2014 ]. It is a matter ofrecord that till date,

the stocks have not been distributed by Sh. Kamal Gupta, to the

respective
49
terms ofthe family settlement. Today, as per the understanding of

the Petitioners, the value of the stocks falling to the share of the

Petitioners [ as per the prevailing rates of gold / jewellery etc. ] shall

be approx. Rs. 175 crores. As pointed out above, Shri Kamal Gupta

was to settle all the loan accounts with the Banks as per the available

/ applicable schemes including OTS etc. The facts and details in this

behalf are available with Shri Kamal Gupta, however, are not being

shared by him with the Pawan Gupta Group.

30. It is also an agreed position as per the family settlement that the

funds which would get saved on account of stipulations contained

in settlement schemes such as OTS etc., shall get distributed in the

proportion of 30:70 between Shri Pawan Gupta and Shri Kamal

Gupta respectively. It is reasonably expected that on the completion

of the process of settlement of all loans with the Banks, Shri Pawan

Gupta group would indeed become entitled to a significant sum.

After adjustment of his share, if any, towards the settlement of any

loan amount, there would not be any doubt of Shri Pawan Gupta

becoming entitled to at least Rs. 175 crores from Shri Kamal Gupta

Group in tenus f the family settlement. (?.v-Y' ~ 1):;


50
31. It has also been given to understand that some of the loans of the

entities ofP.P. Jewellers group, with various Banks appear to have

been settled. The table set out hereinbelow would demonstrate that

a total loan ofapprox. Rs. 584 crores as on 30.09.2014 appears to

have been settled for an amount of approx. Rs. 200 crores. This

aspect deserves furnishing of true facts and details from Sh. Kamal

Gupta and in the event this position gets confirmed by true facts and

documents, the benefit of the difference in these amounts shall

naturally flow to all the family members including the Petitioners

herein.

32. The approximate figures of the settlements arrived at with the

Banks, to the best of the knowledge ofthe Petitioners, are as under:-

Payable amount

Bank
Total amount In Crores
Bank Firm In Crores [A rox.]

33. It is submitted that the values given in the aforesaid table are

approximate values, as the Petitioners has been given to understand.

34. It is submitted that in some of these settlements, where Sh. Kamal

Gupta has to make the payment for these companies under his

control, any non-payment and non-clearance of the loan account is

only for the reasons best known to Sh. Kamal Gupta. Similarly, the

loans which appear to have been settled with the sm for clearing
the properties falling to the share of the Petitioners and where the

settled amounts for clearance of the loan are required to be paid by

Sh. Kamal Gupta, he is creating collusive litigations with certain

Bank officials for (J eating hurdles and obstructions in the, 'laf,?f

the Petitioners. . ~"' ~ (\Z0Jr


52
35. It is respectfully submitted that the Petitioners herein remains

sincerely committed for complete implementation of the family

settlement in letter and spirit and the Petitioners' family has been

carrying out the business operations, independently, at the

showroom at Karol Bagh [ located at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta

Road] - accordingly.

36. Unfortunately, despite all efforts of the Petitioners to not to engage

in any further disagreement / dispute between the family members,

and independently operate his business in terms of the family

settlement, the Petitioner No.1 's elder brother Sh. Kamal Gupta has

been acting with grave malice towards the Petitioners - and is

engaging himself in various acts of omission and commission

thereby seeking / attempting to deprive / prejudice the Petitioners

even with respect to the lesser 23% share in the family business

agreed to by the Petitioners for larger interest and growth of the

family, and also to obstruct him in operation of the Karol Bagh

showroom [ at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta road ] being the

showroom becoming available to him under the family settlement.

37. The Petitioners most humbly submits that the obligation to

discharge the loans t!l: eventual amounts for repayment agreed

~ ~)~/ (\<if'"\ ~~
53
with the Banks under the applicable policies - has always been upon

Sh. Kamal Gupta and family, including in relation to the assets

falling to the share ofthe Petitioners. It is also the submission ofthe

Petitioners that the discharge of the liabilities of the Banks by Sh.

Kamal Gupta and family, was also to make free the showroom

falling to the share of the Petitioners, from any encumbrance etc.

38. The Petitioners humbly submits that one the one hand, Sh. Kamal

Gupta has proceeded to eliminate / discharge liabilities towards the

Banks - where assets falling to his share are encumbered /

mortgaged / made collateral etc. He has repaid the agreed amounts

with the Banks and has got free almost all the immovable properties

/ assets falling to his share and on the other hand, he has not

undertaken and discharged his liabilities under the family settlement

in relation to the immovable properties / assets falling to the share

of the Petitioners.

39. On the contrary, he has been indulging in acts of omission and

commission in ensuring that somehow, the immovable properties /

assets falling to the share of the Petitioners remain entangled in one

way or the other including by deliberately delaying the discharge of

_ ~~~
all such liabilities wh he immovable properties / assets falling

~V"~~r
54
to the share of the Petitioners become absolutely free from any

encumbrance / charge etc.

40. The Petitioners most humbly submit that it has been recently given

to understand that for the reasons beneficial to the interest of Sh.

Kamal Gupta and his family, it appears that Sh. Kamal Gupta has

discharged the loan of the company - P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd., with

Axis Bank. The title documents of the showroom at 2700, Desh

Bandhu Gupta Road, Karol Bagh [ falling to the share of the

Petitioners ] - have been taken away by him from the said Bank

recently. Instead of handing over the title documents of the Karol

Bagh showroom mentioned above to the Petitioners, these

documents have been retained by Sh. Kamal Gupta for his ulterior

motives.

41. Further, to enunciate the further misdeeds of the Respondents,

acting in blatant violation / contravention ofthe terms ofthe Family

Settlement, the acts of omission and commission of the

Respondents, inter alia, are set out as under:-

a. Illegally selling off family properties which form part of the

family settlement, at undervalued prices, without any intimation

or information to ot er il~ members;


I\~'\----
a..-'~~
55
b. Illegally taking control of the title papers of the Karol Bagh

showroom at 2700, Deshbandhu Gupta Road, Delhi by taking it

fromAxis Bank and "not handing them over to the Petitioners;

c. Failure to account for the stock of the three firms / entities, in

terms of the family settlement, illegally retaining the stocks

falling to the share of the Petitioners, and events demonstrating

the siphoning off of such stock with the connivance of the

Respondents;

d. Filing of a suit in 2021, fraught with blatant suppression and

concealment, before the Court ofLd. District Judge, Tis Hazari

Courts, seeking to restrain the Petitioner No.1 from using the

trademarks ofP.P. Jewellers;

c. Causing hindrances to the Petitioners from residing at the

family's residential home at C-I9, Rana Pratap Bagh, Delhi -

110007 where the family members had been staying since 2005;

f. Illegally taking decisions on behalf of the entities where the

Petitioners are a Director / Shareholder, without any knowledge

of the Petitioners, and in complete contravention of the

provisions of the Companies Act, 2013;

g. Deliberate concealment of collusive proceedings got initiated

.. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. at the behest ofSh.

.~~ «~O~

Kamal Gupta and further, the acts of omission / commission of

Sh. Kamal Gupta acting in connivance with the Bank officials

to cause prejudice to the interest of the other family members

including the Petitioners, including by blatant

(DRT);

C. ORDER DATED 05.07.2022 PASSED BY THIS HON'BLE


COURT IN O.M.P. (I) (COMM.) NO. 186/2022 TITLED
PAWAN GUPTA VS. KAMAL GUPTA & ORS.

42. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, Petitioner No.1

herein was constrained to approach this Hon'ble Court for interim

orders to protect the subject matter of the arbitration i.e., the

properties under the Family Settlement Deed and the stock of

jewellery and precious metal and stones at various showrooms

under the Family Business. Petitioner No.1 filed a Petition under

Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, being

O.M.P. (I) (Comm.) No. 186/2022 titled Pawan Gupta vs. Kamal

Gupta & Ors.

43. This Hon'ble Court vide order dated 05.07.2022 disposed of the

Petition "I, 9 ~ in,,,~1 :=ted M follows> Ci'J ~~


57
" 39. Disputes exist between the parties with
respect to implementation of the family settlement.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the subject matter of
the disputes is preserved. In this view of the matter, the
respondents are restrained from selling, transferring,
alienating or creating any third party rights or interests in
relation to the immovable properties falling to petitioner's
share and subject matter of the family partition as recorded
in the Family Settlement Deed/Memorandum of
Understanding dated 09.07.2019, including the showroom
located at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta Road, Karol Bagh,
New Delhi. Further, directions are also issued to the
respondents/their representatives/employees/agents not to
cause any obstruction/impediment in any manner by
whatsoever in the petitioner utilising the premises bearing
no.' 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta Road, Karol Bagh, New
Delhi, for conduct of his business "

44. Thereafter, fulfilling the mandate of Section 9(2) of the 1996 Act,

the Petitioners sent a notice invoking arbitration to the Respondents

under Section 21 on 08.07.2022. Section 9(2) has been quoted

hereunder for ready reference and reads as follows:-

"9. Interim measures, etc., by Court.-

* * * *
(2) Where, before the commencement of the arbitral
proceedings, a Court passes an order for any interim
measure of protection under sub-section (I), the arbitral

as the Courtka ~:t:=. tfV ~1~


58
45. As per the said notice dated 08.07.2022, the Petitioners

recommended names of the following distinguished retired judges

to be appointed as the Sole Arbitrator:

a. Hon'ble. Mr. Kurian Joseph (Former Judge of Supreme


Court ofIndia);

b. Hon'ble Ms. Indu Malhotra Former (Former Judge of


Supreme Court ofIndia);

c. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Badar Durrez Ahmed (Former Chief


Justice of Jammu and Kashmir High Court)

46. It is pertinent to mention here that the Arbitration Notice was duly

sent to the Respondents through email and Speed Post and at the

addresses of the Respondents.

47. The respondents replied to the same on 16.08.2022 and refused to

refer the dispute to Arbitration.

48. Thus, it would in the interest of justice that a Sole Arbitrator be

appointed by this Hon'ble Court for adjudication ofthe disputes that

have arisen between the parties. That such appointment may be a

neutral person as requ ed by the Act who shall be impartial and

unbiased. ~, 1- t10 ~1j{

59
49. It is respectfully submitted that the Family Settlement is binding on

the parties, and has obliged the parties to take all necessary steps for

enforcement / implementation of the Family Settlement. It is the

respectful submission of the Petitioners that the Hori'ble Apex

Court as well as this Hon'ble Court have repeatedly reiterated and

re-emphasized the principles for enforcement of family settlements

/ arrangements and that technical or trivial grounds shall not be

permitted to stand in the way of enforcement of a family settlement.

Once, with the consent of the family members, the matter. has been

settled, it shall not be allowed to be reopened on frivolous or

untenable or trivial or technical grounds. Reliance is placed, inter

alia, on the judgment of the Honble Supreme Court in Kale v. Dy.

Director of Consolidation, (1976) 3 sec 119 wherein it has, inter


alia, been held by the Hon'ble Apex Court as under:-

........... , 9. Before dealing with the respective


contentions put forward by the parties, we would like to
discuss in general the effect and value of family
arrangements entered into between the parties with a view
to resolving disputes once for all. By virtue of a family
settlement or arrangement members of a family
descending from a common ancestor or a near relation
seek to sink their differences and disputes, settle and
resolve their conflicting claims or disputed titles once for
all in order to buy peace ofmind and bring about complete
harmony and goodwill in the family. The family
arrangements W 'VI~ a special e~;~~
60
themselves and would be enforced ifhonestly made. In this
connection, Kerr in his valuable treatise Kerr on Fraud at
p. 364 makes the following pertinent observations
regarding the nature ofthe family arrangement which may
be extracted thus:
"The principles which apply to the case of ordinary
compromise between strangers do not equally apply to
the case of compromises in the nature of family
arrangements. Family arrangements are governed by a
special equity peculiar to themselves, and will be
enforced ifhonestly made, although they have not been
meant as a compromise, but have proceeded from an
error ofall parties, originating in mistake or ignorance
offact as to what their rights actually are, or of the
points on which their rights actually depend. "

The object ofthe arrangement is to protect the family from


long-drawn litigation or perpetual strifes which mar the
unity and solidarity of the family and create hatred and
bad blood between the various members of the family.
Today when we are striving to build up an egalitarian
society and are tryingfor a complete reconstruction ofthe
society, to maintain .and uphold the unity and
homogeneity of the family which ultimately results in the
unification of the society and, therefore, of the entire
country, is the prime need of the hour. A family
arrangement by which the property is equitably divided
between the various contenders so as to achieve an equal
distribution ofwealth instead ofconcentrating the same in
the hands of a few is undoubtedly a milestone in the
administration of social justice. That is why the term
"family" has to be understood in a wider sense so as to
include within its fold not only close relations or legal
heirs but even those persons who may have some sort of
antecedent title, a semblance of a claim or even if they
have a spes successionis so that future disputes are sealed
for ever and the family instead offighting claims inter se
and wasting time, money and energy on such fruitless or
futile litigation is able to devote its attention to more
constructive work in the larger interest ofthe country. The
courts have, t refore, leaned in favour of upholding a

~ ,~--- (\Z~8r
61
family arrangement instead of disturbing the same on
technical or trivial grounds. Where the courts find that the
family arrangement suffersfrom a legal lacuna or aformal
defect the rule of estoppel is pressed into service and is
applied to shut out plea oftheperson who being a party to
family arrangement seeks to unsettle a settled dispute and
claims to revoke the family arrangement under which he
has himself enjoyed some material benefits. The law in
England on this point is almost the same. In Halsbury's
Laws ofEngland, Vol. 17, Third Edition, atpp. 215-216,
the following apt observations regarding the essentials of
the family settlement and the principles governing the
existence ofthe same are made:
"A family arrangement is an agreement between
members of the same family, intended to be generally
and reasonably for the benefit of the family either by
compromising doubtful or disputed rights or by
preserving thefamily property or the peace and security
of the family by avoiding litigation or by saving its
honour. The agreement may be implied from a long
course ofdealing, but it is more usual to embody or to
effectuate the agreement in a deed to which the term
"family arrangement" is applied.
Family arrangements are governed by principles
which are not applicable to dealings between strangers.
The court, when deciding the rights of parties under
family arrangements or claims to upset such
arrangements, considers what in the broadest view of
the matter is most for the interest offamilies, and has
regard to considerations which, in dealing with
transactions between persons not members ofthe same
family, would not be taken into account. Matters which
would be fatal to the validity of similar transactions
between strangers are not objections to the binding
effect offamily arrangements. " .

............... 12. In Lala Khunni Lal v. Kunwar Gobind


Krishna Narain [LR 38IA 87, 102: ILR 33 All 356 : 8 ALJ
552] the statement of law regarding the essentials of a
valid settlement wa ully approved of by their Lordships
of the Privy Counci nthis connection the High Court

~)--L (JZ~d~
62
made the following observations which were adopted by
the Privy Council:

The learned Judges say as follows:

"The true character ofthe transaction appears to us to


have been a settlement between the several members of
the family of their disputes, each one relinquishing all
claim in respect of all property in dispute other than
thatfalling to his share, and recognizing the right ofthe
others as they had previously asserted it to the portion
allotted to them respectively. It was in this light, rather
than as conferring a new distinct title on each other,
that the parties themselves seem to have regarded the
arrangement, and we think that it is the duty of the
courts to uphold and give full effect to such an
arrangement.

Their Lordships have no hesitation in adopting that


view. " ..... __ ..

... ... ... ... ... ... 19. Thus it would appear from a review of
the decisions analysed above that the courts have taken a
very liberal and broad view of the validity of the family
settlement and have always tried to uphold it and maintain
it. The central idea in the approach made by the courts is
that ifby consent ofparties a matter has been settled, it
should not be allowed to be reopened by the parties to the
agreement onfrivolous or untenable grounds "

50. It is respectfully submitted that the Petitioners have made all

attempts, including mediation under the said MoD / Deed dated

09.07.2019 for achieving the implementation of the family


63
51. It is respectfully submitted that the Respondents continue to indulge

in acts of omission and commission including by illegally

dissipating / alienating / siphoning off the family properties covered

under the family settlement, and which have fallen to the share of

the Petitioners, thereby causing irreparable damage and injury to the

Petitioners.

52. It is respectfully submitted that all the aforesaid aspects, facts and

events are relevant for the consideration of this Hon'ble Court. For

the sake of brevity, they have not been annexed with the present

Petition under Section 11. All the necessary facts have already been

brought on record before this Hon'ble COUli in the Petition under

Section 9 filed by the Petitioner No.1 and the same may be treated

as an integral part of the present Petition as well.

53. It is respectfully submitted that the cause of action of the present

Petition arose when the Respondents defaulted to comply with their

obligations under the Family Settlement as already elaborated

hereinabove, and the same is continuing. The cause of action further

arose when the Respondents indulged in their acts of omission and

commission as listed out hereinabove, in blatant contravention of

the terms of the F amily Settl~l"el1t. The cause ofaction further arose
~~.'t (fZ~dr
~!\ ,

64
when the Respondents illegally obtained control of the title

documents of the property at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta Road,

sometime in April 2022. The cause of action is arising every day

with the continued non-compliance of the Respondents who are

acting in blatant breach of the Family Settlement, to the detriment

of the other family members including the Petitioners herein.

54. The Petitioners submit that this Hon'ble Court has the territorial

jurisdiction to entertain the present Petition and the seat of

arbitration under the arbitration agreement between the parties is

New Delhi.

55. The Petitioners submit that this Hon'ble Court has the pecuniary

jurisdiction to entertain and decide the present Petition and that the

value of the properties / assets involved in the present Petition and

covered by the Family Settlement, fall within the pecuniary

jurisdiction of this Honble Court.

56. The documents filed along with the present Petition are true copies

of their respective originals.

r
57. The present Petition is bona fide and orders by this Hori'ble Court

allow ing the pIT,~t POti1~1 meet tho ends 0;lR:::':J


65
58. The requisite court fee has been affixed accordingly. The present

Petition is being filed within the period of limitation.

59. The Petitioners crave leave of this Hon'ble Court to add or amend

or alter or modify the contents of the present Petition and to rely on

other documents as and when required.

60. The Petitioners have not previously filed before this Hori'ble Court

or any other Hon'ble Court, any similar Petition seeking reliefs

sought herein or any other similar reliefs, pertaining to the matter in

Issue.

61. The present Petition is being made bonafide and in the interest of

justice.

PRAYER

In view of the facts stated and submissions made hereinabove, the

Petitioners most humbly prays that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased

to:-

A. Appoint a Sole Arbitrator as per the provisions of the Arbitration

and Conciliation Act, 1996 for a j


66
the Petitioners and the Respondents under the family settlement

between the parties;

B. Pass any other order deemed fit and proper by this Hon'ble Court to

deposited in any of the known accounts of the Company.
28. It is submitted that the Respondents No.1 and 3, could not have sold the
aforesaid property without the knowledge and consent ofthe Petitioner No.
1 as he is the Director and shareholder of the Company that owns the said
property. The Petitioner No. 1 was not even served with any notice or
intimation of any Board meeting of the Company for considering or
authorising the sale of the said property.
29. Without prejudice to the above, it is submitted that the Respondent No.1
or 3, could have sold the aforesaid property, only under the terms of the
Family Settlement not otherwise. The Respondents are depriving the
Petitioners by not honouring the terms of family settlement, including by
transferring of ownership rights of the properties falling to the share of the
Petitioners and recorded in the name of other Respondents.
IMPERMISSIBLE ATTEMPT TO USURP CONTROL OVER THE
PROPERTY AT 2700, DESHBANDHU GUPTA ROAD, (THE
"KAROL BAGH SHOWROOM")

30. It is respectfully reiterated that under the family settlement, the property
bearing No. 2700, Deshbandhu Gupta Road, Karol Bagh, New Delhi
(Karol Bagh Showroom), has been allocated to the sole and exclusive share
of the Petitioners. Admittedly, the Petitioner No. 1 is in continuous
possession ofthe said showroom and has been operating his business from
the said showroom.
31. It is respectfully submitted that pursuant to the family settlement, steps
were required to be taken to hand over the title deeds of the said Property

[2700, Deshbandhu Gupta Roo _ O:~i,:"o~;~~r"" said


22
family property has been formally in the name of three companies [fully
owned subsidiaries of Respondent No.4] viz.:-
a. Mangalam Developers Pvt. Ltd.
b. Magnificient Overseas Pvt. Ltd.
c. Akash Nirman Udyog Pvt. Ltd.
32. It is further significant to state that the title documents of the said property
[ 2700, Deshbandhu Gupta Road] had been mortgaged as collateral, for
the financial facilities availed by P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. with the Axis
Bank, Branch - 148, Barakhamba Road. As per the Family Settlement, it
had been the obligation of Respondent No.1 to discharge the said liabilities
/ loans ofPPJL, which had been agreed to be taken over by him.
33. For the completeness of record, it is submitted that the jewellery stock of
P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd., was also hypothecated with the Banks i.e. the State
Bank of India, Axis Bank etc. While awaiting the Respondent NO.1 to
comply with his obligations under the Family Settlement, including for
taking over and discharging the liabilities of the Company [ PPJPL], the
existing arrangement of keeping the stocks of PPJPL at the Karol Bagh
Showroom was also continued.
34. It is submitted that it has been recently learnt by the Petitioner No.1 that
some time in April 2022, the said collateral i.e. the title deeds of Karol
Bagh Showroom have now been discharged by the Axis Bank and the title
deeds have been taken away by Mr. Kamal Gupta from the Bank, yet,
neither the title deeds have been handed over to the Petitioner No. I in
relation to this property falling to the share of the Petitioners, as agreed in
the family settlement.
35. This act of Mr. Kamal Gupta to take control of the title deeds of the Karol
Bagh Property i.e. 2700 Desh Bandhu Gupta Road appears to be another
attempt to deprive the Petitioners oftheir share under the family settlement.

Thi' fact has come as an absolut s ~ '~Ca';:cr~~ who was


23
not even intimated regarding the fact of the collateral security having been
discharged by Axis Bank -and learnt about this fact only through third
parties, despite the fact that as per the Family Settlement, the Petitioner
No. I alongwith his family have been operating their independent business
at the said Karol Bagh Showroom.
36. It is respectfully submitted that neither was it permissible for the
Respondent No.1 to take away the papers, nor was it permissible for Axis
Bank to release the papers to Respondent No.1 alone, without any
intimation to all Directors / shareholders ofPPJL, including the Petitioners
herein. In this behalf, the Petitioner No. 1 has been constrained to file a
Police Complaint on 20.04.2022 vide Diary Number 102 to Station House
Officer, Deshbandhu Gupta Road and also to Assistant Commissioner of
Police, Karol Bagh, New Delhi.
37. It is apprehended that this act is also a part ofthe orchestrated design ofthe
Respondent NO.1 to deprive the Petitioners of his share in the family
properties / assets in terms of the Family Settlement and cause grave and
irreparable injury to their interests.
38. The Petitioners apprehends that the Respondents shall act dishonestly and
in breach of the terms ofthe family settlement, or create third party interest
/ sell or alienate the shareholdings of those three companies and thus,
deprive the Petitioners of their own properties falling to their share under
the family settlement.

43. A bare perusal of the aforesaid table clearly shows that the Respondents'
actions are not only to contrary to the agreed terms ofthe family settlement
but also actuated with malafide intent to cause continuance mental and
physical harassment to the Petitioners, depriving them of their hard earned
money and business reputation, earned over the last 4 decades, while
working jointly in the interest of the family, and also depriving the
Petitioners from their shares in the assets and properties as per the family
settlement. In fact, the Petitioners, with a view to resolve the disputes have

agreed roc tho 21% share, :"h_ )1\?r :h'~::~~ '"C, as is


28
also evident from the fact that the Petitioner No.1 is the founder member
of the family business and has contributed to the growth and success of the
family business, over the last 4 decades..
SIPHONING OFF OF STOCKS
44. It is most respectfully submitted that as stated hereinabove, the terms of
the family settlement clearly provide that the Stock of the three entities viz.
Mis P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. [ PPJL ], P.P. Jewellers (Delhi) and P.P.
Jewellers (Exports) as on 30.09.2014 shall be apportioned between the
family members in proportion to their shares as decided under the Family
Settlement.
45. However, on account of the acts of omission and commission of the
Respondents and particularly Shri Kamal Gupta [ Respondent No.1], the
apportionment of the stocks of the said three entities between the family
members has not taken place till date. In the meanwhile, it has been learnt
that the Respondents have indulged in illegal acts of siphoning off I
dissipation of the stocks belonging to the three entities, thereby causing
irreparable injury and damage to the interest of the other family members
including the Petitioners herein.
46. It has been learnt that while as per the Family Settlement, Kamal Gupta
Group was not undertake any retail business from the premises of 2699,
Desh Bandhu Gupta Road [ which is adjacent to the Karol Bagh showroom
at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta Road which has fallen to the share of the
Petitioners ] - the Kamal Gupta Group have indulged in undertaking
transactions ofthe stock belonging to PPJPL through the said premises.
47. It is submitted that Mr. Kamal Gupta is siphoning off the stock of the
Company through one Anita Kathuria, who is a store Manager of
Pitampura showroom ofPP Jewellers Pvt. Ltd. As per the website of Goods
& Services Tax Department (https:llservices.gst.gov.in), Ms. Anita

Kathura,) is the propnetor of Sh· Ga{:~ :w~~o~f in Gurgaon


29
and Indirapuram. It is submitted that in the stock statement ofPPJPL dated
26.3.2018, Shri Ganesh Jewellers is reflected as a Domestic Receivable (in
the Book-Debts) for Rs. 4.37 crores. Thus, it is evident that Mr. Kamal
Gupta, with the connivance of the Bank has siphoned off stocks worth
crores in an attempt to defeat the rights of Mr. Pawan Gupta.
48. The sales made to the aforesaid entity clearly establish the siphoning of
stocks by Sh. Kamal Gupta, in breach of the terms of the family settlement
for distribution of stocks between the family members.
49. It is respectfulfy submitted that similarly, in relation to the stocks of Mis
P.P. Jewellers (Exports), which is a partnership firm constituted for the
purpose of export ofjewellery, it is the apprehension ofthe Petitioners that
the stocks of the said firm have also been completely dissipated without
any intimation to the other family members including the Petitioners
herein. Despite repeated requests, the Kamal Gupta Group has continued
with its refusal to not to divulge any information or detail regarding the
stocks of the said firm.
50. The aforesaid facts of siphoning off of the stocks of the above-mentioned
3 entities of P.P. Jewellers, have also been noticed by the investigating
officer in an Action Taken Report filed before this Honble Court [ in
proceedings arising from a petition uls 156(3) Cr.P.c. filed against the
Bank officials who have been acting in connivance with Sh. Kamal Kumar
Gupta ], pursuant to the order dated 02.09.2021 passed by the
Ld.Magistrate, Patiala House Court. In the said Action Taken Report dated
18.10.202 I, it has been, inter alia, stated as under:-
"the proceedings before the Ld. MM specifically records that the
bank was evasive in replying to the queries regarding recovery of
outstanding loan amount from the hypothecated stock of PP
Jewellers (Exports) and PP Jewellers (Delhi), rather the petitioner
bank easily shifted the burden of the same on the· Local
Commissioner appointed by the Hon'ble DRT Whereas it is also a
matte ofrecord that Bank 0 :
da :r:;;:::~':f M'" audit

A
30
and deliberately allowed Mr. Kamal Gupta to siphon off and
misappropriated the hypothecated stock ofall three borrower entities
namely PP Jewellers (Exports), PP Jewellers (Delhi) and PP
Jewellers Pvt. Ltd when it could have easily been used to repay the
entire loan amount ".

51. It is respectfully submitted that all such events have created an imminent
need and necessity for immediately securing the stock belonging to these
three entities and for carrying out an audit of the stock ledger ofthese three
entities from 30.09.2014 onwards, in order to ascertain and apportion the
share ofthe respective family members in the stocks ofthese three entities,
in accordance with the terms of the family settlement.
UNWARRANTED AND THRUSTED LITiGAnON BY THE
RESPONDENTS
52. It is an admitted position that the family members have agreed that all the
family members shall be entitled to use the Trade mark and logo for their
own business. There has never been any dispute in this behalf, and all
family members have always remained the joint owners of the trademark
and logo of"P.P. Jewellers", "PPI" and "PP".
53. As mentioned hereinabove, pursuant to the family settlement deed dated
20.06.2015, the Petitioner No. 1 incorporated the company viz. P.P.
Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd. [ "PPJRPL" ] in July 2015 and the family of
the Petitioners have been operating their independent business under this
Company, at the Karol Bagh Showroom at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta
Road. All family members including the Respondents herein have been
aware of the business being operated by PPJRPL at the Karol Bagh
Showroom. Similarly, the other family members are also operating their
business(es) using the family owned trademarks, logos of"P.P. Jewellers".
54,. That in April 2021, P.P. Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd. had planned to open a
new showroom at South Extension Part I, New Delhi. The Respondents, in
order to obstruct and to cause harass
31
reputation of the Petitioners in the market, filed a misconceived,
misleading and mischievous suit, in the name of P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd.
against the Petitioner No. I, his son and P.P. Jewellers Retail Pvt. Ltd.,
falsely claiming exclusive rights over the trade mark and logo of "P.P.
Jewellers", and by blatantly suppressing! concealing the most relevant
documents including the family settlement.
55. It is respectfully submitted that the Respondents also indulged in blatant
abuse of process of law, inter alia, by making false statements on oath to
the effect that the business operations of P.P. Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd.
came to their knowledge only in April 2021 despite knowing fully well that
the said company has been incorporated in 2015, and has been carrying on
its business, independently from its own resources, at the Karol Bagh
Showroom. In fact, this blatant falsehood is also established by the fact that
P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd., under the control of Sh. Kamal Gupta, has itself
entered into sale transactions with P.P. Jewellers (Retail) Pvt. Ltd.
including in FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19.
56. It has been the submission on behalf of the Petitioners that based on such
suppression, misrepresentation and concealment, in the said suit, an order
dated 26.07.2021 came to be passed by the Ld. District Judge (Commercial
Court), Tis Hazari Courts in favour of PPJPL [ at the instance of
Respondent NO.1 herein ], which was challenged by PPJRPL alongwith
the Petitioner No. land his son before this Honble Court in FAO
(COMM.) No. 120 of 2021, titled as "PP Jewellers Retail Pvt. Limited &
Others vs. PP Jewellers Pvt. Lid".
57. In the said Appeal being FAO (COMM.) No. 120 of 2021, this Hon'ble
Court vide its order dated 30.07.2021, in Para 14, made inter alia the
following observations:-
" 14. For our purpose today. it is sufficient to notice that
the a ellants have been usin the Trade Marks and

_..' \~)~ -<10~


-----:;'~
32
sufficient length of time befOre the filing of the suit, and the said
Trade Marks and Logo have been acknowledged in the family
settlement as being available for the use of the family. though
registered in the name ofthe plaintiffcompany.

J 5. We are, therefOre, inclined to stay the iniunction order passed


against the appellants in paragraph 200 (3) & (4) ofthe impugned
order till the next date. We make it clear that the afOresaid view is
only a prima facie view, and would not prevent us from taking a
different view after hearing the parties at length "

58, That vide its Order dated 30.07,2021, this Hon'ble Court was also pleased
to appoint a Local Commissioner for the purpose of inventorying the entire
stock of raw materials and jewellery lying at the Karol Bagh Showroom,
belonging respectively to PP1L and PP1RPL.
59, It is respectfully submitted that there had not been any permissibility for
Sh. Kamal Gupta to raise any such plea through PP1PL, that the Petitioners
shall not be entitled to use the said trademark / logo etc, The Respondents
have demonstrated complete disregard for law through their blatant
attempt to indulge in abuse of process of law, including by suppressing /
concealing the most vital fact of the family settlement in the Plaint and
making false submissions on oath before the Hon'ble Courts.
60. This Hon'ble Court by its order dated 30.07,2021 in FAO (COMM.) No,
120 of 2021 has inter alia issued certain directions in relation to the
trademark. The Petitioners, without prejudice to their rights and
contentions, reserve their rights to seek appropriate reliefs in relation to the
trademark, at the appropriate stage, if the need so arises,
DISPUTE QUA THE RESIDENTIAL HOUSE - C-19
61, It is respectfully reiterated that as per the Family Settlement, the Petitioner'
share has been calculated as 25% in the property bearing no, C-19, Rana
Pratap Bagh, New Delhi (aithoug t
33
is the recorded owner of 50% of the said property under the registered Sale
Deed). It is submitted that the property bearing No. C-19, Rana Pratap
Bagh, New Delhi has two furnished floors, ground floor and first floor. The
Respondents are occupying more than 75% of its share whereas, the
Petitioners are in occupation of an area of approximately 25% only.
62. It is respectfully submitted that on the one hand, the Respondents are
'creating hindrances and obstructions in the exclusive use and ownership of
the property at 2700 Desh Bandhu Karol Bagh [ which is to the sole and
exclusive share ofPetitioners as per the family settlement] and on the other
hand, the Petitioners have been deprived of their rights in the residential
property on the ground that the family settlement records the share of the
Petitioners as 25%. In other words, on the one hand, relying on the family
settlement, the Respondents are occupying more than 75% area of the said
residential property and the Petitioners are occupying approx. 25% of the
said residential property - on the other hand,' the Respondents continue to
violate their other obligations under the terms of the family settlement.
63. It is reiterated that the Respondents are selectively complying only with
such provisions of the family settlement which are to their benefit, while
continuing to deprive the Petitioners oftheir entitlement(s) under the terms
of the family settlement.
BLATANT VIOLATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANIES
ACT, 2013 AND THE RULES FRAMED THEREUNDER

64. It is most respectfully submitted that as stated hereinabove, while the


formal steps for implementation of the family settlement are required to be
carried out, and the Petitioners have been beseeching the Respondents to
comply with their obligations under the family settlement, at the same time,
the Petitioner No. I continues to remain a Director / Shareholder in the
companies / firms including PPJL. It is the bounden obligation under law

that any I nil decisions of such OOmp"_i »> (:~' ~a::~¥taken


34
with the approval of the Board of Directors, including the Petitioners
herein, as the case may be, and any such decision which does not have the
approval of the Board of Directors, would be illegal, non-est, not having
any existence in the eyes oflaw.
65. However, as mentioned hereinabove, various instances have come to light
which have clearly established that the Respondents acting in connivance
with each other, are indulging in abuse of process of law including by
taking decisions on behalf of the said companies I firms wherein the
Petitioner No. 1 is also a Director - without even any knowledge or
intimation to the Petitioner No.1, much less seeking his consent or
approval. All such decisions are being taken in an entirely illegal manner
where neither any board meeting is called, nor any approval I consent of
the Directors is sought before taking any such purported decision in the
name of the company I entity. As mentioned hereinabove, such illegal and
unsustainable actions are being taken on behalf of the companies I entities
which include:-
a. Filing of the trademark suit, replete with misrepresentations,
suppression and concealment, on behalf ofPPJL before the court of
Ld. District Judge, Tis Hazari Courts;
b. Undervalued sale of the property belonging to the Company viz.
Mis. Shree Shiv Jewellers Private Limited where the Petitioner No.1
is a 50% shareholder and also one of the two Directors;
c. Obtaining and taking away the title documents of2700, Deshbandhu
Gupta Road from Axis Bank, on behalf ofPPJL;
d. Filing of a Section 7 IBC Petition by SBI against PPJL, where no
reply is being filed on behalf of PPJL [ apparently acting in
connivance with the Bank] and lawyers have been appointed on
behalf of PPJL without any intimation or approval of the Board of

Director I 'hi' event has ,I" ern{tata~lf:I;


35
e. Etc.
66. Due to the Respondents' acts of omission and commission in taking steps
for complying with the mandatory statutory compliances in relation to
companies I entities where the Petitioners continue to be Directors, the
Petitioners are also facing the prejudice of the companies being marked as
"Active - Non Compliant" by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of
India, and the consequences thereof which may also have an impact on the
Petitioner' status as Directors even in their own companies.
DELIBERATE CONCEALMENT OF THE PROCEEDINGS
INITIATED BY THE BANK AGAINST PPJL

67. That it has recently been learnt by the Petitioner that the State Bank ofIndia
has filed a Petition under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code
2016 against PPJL. It is reiterated that the Petitioner No. I continues to be a
Director and Shareholder in PPJL. Despite the position held by the Petitioner
No. I in PPJL, no communication whatsoever was ever sent intimating the
Petitioner No.1 of the IBC proceedings.
68. It is a matter of record that the Company, in the capacity of Corporate
Debtor, accepted the notice on 15.03.2022 through an Advocate and
undertook to file its reply to the Company Petition uls 7 of the Code within
2 weeks i.e. by 29.03.2022. Thereafter, on 29.03.2022, the Company sought
another period of 10 days' time to file a reply to the Section 7 Petition,
however, it is believed that there are deliberate attempts to not to file the
Reply on behalf of the Company before the Ld. National Company Law
Tribunal (NCL T).
69. It is respectfully submitted that a company is necessarily required in law to
call for a necessary meeting of its members and pass Resolutions for

a;af'
conducting its affairs. It is most shocking to state that neither has PPJL called

for the "'''~''Y meeting intimoling th~~:~:" other


36
Directors of the Company, nor has any decision been taken for appointing
any legal consultant I Advocate to represent its interest.
70. A perusal of the order sheets in the proceedings before Ld. NCLT, shows
that appearance was marked on behalf of the Company on IS.! 1.2021,
25.02.2022, 15.03.2022 and 29.03.2022. However, neither the Board ofthe
Company nor the Petitioner No. I herein was ever informed of the instant
petition or provided its details either to the Board of the Company or to the
Applicant herein. It is submitted that without calling of a necessary meeting
and passing a legal and valid Board Resolution on behalf of the company,
any representation on behalf of the Company, would be entirely
unauthorized and illegal and is per se a nullity and contrary to law.
71. Further, a bare perusal of the Section 7 IBC Petition of the Bank makes it
abundantly clear that the same has been filed by the Bank in a fraudulent and
collusive manner, and ostensibly in connivance with Respondent No.1 - Mr.
Kamal Gupta. There is also no reason why the Company has not called for
a Board Meeting till date, for preparing and suitably defending itself against
the Section 7 !BC Petition, the admission whereof would have serious
irreversible consequences against the company. It is apparent that this
collusive petition is, once again, a ploy of Respondent No.1 to somehow
harm the interests of the Petitioners and deprive them even of those assets I
business(es) which have fallen to their share in terms of the Family
Settlement Deeds.
72. The Petitioner No. I has been constrained to file an Application uls 60(5)
read with Section 65 of!BC before the Ld. NCL T in the said proceedings
praying inter alia for dismissal of the said Section 7 !BC Petition as
fraudulent and collusive.
73. That the Petitioner No. I recently also discovered proceedings against
PPIPL, as initiated by the State Bank ofIndia, before the Ld. DRT. In these

11 Differences have arisen between the familv members due to different


opinions on style of functioning and non-attainment ofenvisioned growth of
the business . The disputes/differences necessitated a division of assets,
businesses and proportional apportionment of liabilities to each group for a
harmonious continuance of familial relations.

3. Rahul Gupta 23% ", I \\,

5. MKG (Mohit Gupta) 18% :

IV. However, on account of refusal by Rahul Gupta, even to accept such 23%
share and cooperate with the above division ~U1d since Mr. Rahul Gupta has
taken control of certain assets of Joint Family group. without discharging
his share of the liabilities and he has been working separately since 2015,
without any knowledge/consent of either KG or PO Groups (KG ami PO
Groups have no access to his personally controlled business affairs), the
family members are now of the unanimous view that the deliberations with
. '. Mr. Rahul Gupta to arrive at an amicable resolution, has already more than
significantly delayed and any further loss of time, would continue to affect
the overall global settlement, consequently hindering the growth of the
business interests of the whole group. The feelers and communications sent
to Mr. Rahul Gupta through well-wishers, near and dear, to sit across tor
settlement have been in vain till date.

v. The business of the group has also been adversely affected due to generic
economic depressed conditions causing severe financial distress, resulting in
the group being unable to meet its repayment obligations to several banks
which have extended the financial facilities to the group business and

't
perceived threats of recovery by these banks, as (he bunks have initiated

submitted that it was clearly recorded in the MOD dated 09.07.2019
that only drafts of settlement had been exchanged and that there was
no final and binding settlement between the parties.

discharge by the petitioner, which

to the deed of family settlement dated 28.06.2015 in order to stress
that it was agreed among the parties that the stock of precious metal

in the respective ratio of the shares of the parties.
30. It has further been contended on behalf of the petitioner that the
loan amount was ~ 614 crores and 23% of the said loan amount
comes to ~ 141 crores . The respondents have settled the loan of 614
crores to the extent of ~ 200 crores. Therefore, 23% of ~ 200 crores
comes to ~ 45 crores. Thus, it was contended that the liability of the
petitioner is only to the extent of ~ 4? crores. It was further contended

31. Both the submissions at great


length.
32. It is trite to Court is not to

drafts of settlement exchanged between the parties; whether there was


reciprocal discharge by the petitioner or whether the petitioner has not
discharged his obligations under the family settlements dated

present proceedings. This issue is left open to be agitated by the
parties before the learned Arbitral Tribunal.
34. It is seen from the documents on record that family settlement
deedlMemorandum of Understanding dated 09.07 .2019 was executed
between the parties. The said family settlement deed / MOU contains
an arbitration clause that stipulates that in the event of any dispute or
difference arising out or in relation t~ the interpretation of any clause
of the said MOU/agreement, the same shall be settled by a sole

41. Mr. Ravi Sikri, learned senior counsel for the respondents has
rightly drawn the attention of this Court to Document P-13, P-14 and
P-15, which are the stock statement as on 30.09.2014 of the three
entities viz PP Jewellers Pvt Ltd., Mis PP Jewellers (Delhi) and Mis
PP Jewellers (Exports). Perusal of the aforesaid documents clearly
show that inventory of the stocks as on 30.09.2014 has already taken
place. Therefore, the interest of the _petitioner, if any, as regards his
, .
23% share in the aforesaid

secured. Even otherwise, the re~pon.dent~ have denied the alleged

Court has held as follows:;
"63. To discourage the filing of applications for interim

Act, Section 17 has also been amended to clothe the
Arbitral Tribunal with the same powers to grant interim

subsequently joined by the other family members including his elder
brother Sh. Kamal Gupta [ Noticee No.1] and his family. Over the years,
the business has grown multi-fold under the experience I stewardship and
guidance of my Client. The family members have incorporated various
entities for operating this business, through a number of showrooms, and
have also acquired various immovable properties as well as valuable
moveable assets including stocks of silver I gold I precious stones I
diamonds I jewellery etc.

4. In the year 2014, on account of certain disputes arising between the family
members, it was decided to partition the assets I businesses etc. between the
family members, for arriving at a peaceful and amicable family settlement.
With respect to the disputes, the family settlement was arrived at between
the family members on 30.09.2014, which has been recorded in the family
settlement deed dated 20.06.2015.

5. The family members, in continuation of their family settlement dated


30.09.2014 recorded in the written family settlement deed dated
20.06.2015, have also executed the MoU I Deed dated 09.07.2019.

6. Under the terms of the family settlement, the share ofmy Clients [described
as the Pawan Gupta Group] has been decided as 23% in the family business
I assets I properties etc., while the share of the Kamal Gupta Group has
been decided as 77% in the family business I assets I properties etc..

7. My Client, despite being the founder of the business and being entitled to
at least 50% share in this business, only with a view to buy peace, larger
growth I prosperity to the entire family, and not to have any further dispute
with his elder brother and his family, has agreed to the lesser share of23%
in the family business.

8. Further, under the terms of the family settlement, it had been inter alia
agreed that the immoveable property at 2700 Desh Bandhu Gupta
Road Karol Bagh New Delhi i.e the Karol Bagh showroom of P.P.
Jewellers [as well as certain other immovable properties], would fall to the
exclusive share of my Client, while the other showrooms and certain other
immovable properties as on that date [i.e. as on 30.09.2014] such as
Pitampura, Chandni Chowk, Sadar Bazaar etc. shall fall to the share of the
Kamal Gupta Group.

9. All family members shall be entitled to use the trademark and logos of"P.P.
Jewellers", "PPJUand "PP" for their respective independent business(es).

10. It has also been agreed under the family settlement that the stocks (of gold,
precious stones, diamonds, jewellery etc.) of the family business as on
30.09.2014 shall get distributed / apportioned between the family members
as per their respective shares - i.e. 23% to the share of Pawan Gupta Group
and 77% to the share of Kamal Gupta Group i.e. the Noticees herein.
Having regard to the lesser share in the family business, and only one
showroom (Karol Bagh showroom - at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta Road)
from various existing showrooms belonging to the family as on that date
becoming available to my Client under the family settlement, the quantum
of the liabilities assigned to the him is "NIL", while Sh. Kamal Gupta and
his family were to discharge the liabilities of the Banks in terms of the
family settlement.

II. That admittedly, the business at the Karol Bagh showroom (at 2700, Desh
Bandhu Gupta Road) which has fallen to the share of my Client from the
date of the family settlement, is being operated by my Client and his family,
independently.

12. That my Client has always remained sincerely committed for complete
implementation of the family settlement in letter and spirit.

13. Unfortunately, despite all efforts of my Client to not to engage in any


further disagreement / dispute between the family members, and
independently operate his business in terms of the family settlement, you
the Noticees, particularly Noticee No.1, Sh, Kamal Gupta, individually and
through your representatives / other family members / the entities controlled
by you, have been acting with grave malice towards my Client -
and engaging in various acts of omission and commission thereby seeking
/ attempting to deprive / prejudice my Client even with respect to the lesser
23% share agreed to by my Client for larger interest and growth of the
family, and also to obstruct him in operation of the Karol Bagh showroom
(at 2700, Desh Bandhu Gupta road) which has fallen to his share under the
family settlement.

14. You, the Noticees, alongwith your representatives and the entities
controlled by you, have refused to fully comply with your obligations under
the Family Settlement. Some of your breaches have also been highlighted

in a.M.p. (I) Comm. 186 of 2022, the contents whereof, as mentioned
hereinabove, are an integral part of the present Notice.

15. That my Clients, on their part, have acted in the best interest of the family
and its businesses, and cooperated with, you, the Noticees, believing that
you shall also act upon and discharge your obligations as agreed under the
family settlement, including by handing over proportionate share of the
assets including the proportionate share in the stocks of the firms and
companies as agreed in the Family Settlement, as on 30.09.2014. However,
you the Noticees, have failed to fully act upon and discharge your
obligations under the family settlement, including by not providing my
Client's share in the stocks of P.P. Jewellers Pvt. Ltd., P.P. Jewellers
(Delhi) and P.P. Jewellers (Exports), as on 30.09.2014; and also by failing
to comply with your obligations in relation to the immoveable properties
falling to the share of my Clients under the Family Settlement. While
enjoying all benefits becoming available to you under the Family
Settlement, you the Noticees, are refusing to act upon your obligations in
relation to the shares of other family members including my Clients.

16. My Client has made all efforts and attempts, including mediation, for
achieving the complete implementation of the family settlement, however,
all such efforts have been in vain.

17. It is evident that various disputes including the dispute qua enforcement of
the MoU / Deed dated 09.07.2019 as well as the actual distribution of
Assets, including stock and immovable properties, have arisen between the
parties. In this background, my Clients are constrained to issue the present
Notice invoking the arbitration clause, for adjudication of all disputes
between the parties, through arbitration.

18. In view of the above, the present Notice under Section 21 of the Arbitration
and Conciliation Act, 1996, is being issued to you, the Noticees, on behalf

My clients have handed over your notice dated 08.07.2022 to me with instructions
to reply as under:-

1. At the outset my Clients dispute and deny the contents of your notice dated
8.7.2022. My Clients instruct me to inform that the validity, legal effect
and the legal status of Family Settlement deed dated 20.6.2015 and Family
Settlement Deed dated 9.7.2019, which documents have been referred in
your notice under reply, is presently sub judice in CS (Comm .) No. 1551
of 2021 pending in the court of District Judge, Commercial Court-Oo,
District Central, Delhi.

2. The issue of status of these Family Settlement document being an issue sub
judice and pending in a prior proceeding, your attempt to invoke arbitration
on the same issue is clearly barred by law.

3. My Clients have disputed the legal efficacy of and the alleged binding
status being accorded to the said documents and reiterate the same in
response to your untenable attempt to invoke arbitration.

4. Without prejudice to the foregoing, my Clients further instruct me to state


that they are not agreeable to the suggested names HMJ Kurian Joseph
(Retired) or HMJ Indu Malhotra (Retired) or ofHMJ Badar Durrez Ahmec
(Retired) for purposes of appointment as an arbitrator.

by you since you have waived your right to refer matters to arbitration.
