This position was reiterated in Hindustan Construction Co. Ltd. v. NHPC Ltd. 11, wherein the seat of arbitration as per the contract was New Delhi but the contract was executed in Faridabad and part cause of action arose there. Further, the first application pertaining to the arbitration proceedings was filed at Faridabad. The issue was whether Section 42 would be attracted and courts at Faridabad or Delhi would have exclusive jurisdiction over further applications. The Supreme Court held that once the seat of arbitration is designated, such clause becomes the exclusive jurisdiction clause as a result of which only the courts where the seat is located would have jurisdiction to the exclusion of all other courts. Therefore, even if an application was first made to the Faridabad Court, that application was made to a court without jurisdiction.
