Mohioder Narain ( 1 ) THIS revision is directed against an order dated l2th April, 1983, passed by Mr. R.

That on the event of the dispute arising between the partners with regard to the contents hereof or any of the partnership affairs during the continuance of the partnership or on or after its dissolution, the same shall be settled by reference to arbitration. In this matter the provisions of the Indian Arbitration Act for the time being in force shall apply. " A perusal of this clause shows that disputes arising between the partners after dissolution of the partnership, are to be settled by reference to arbitration. Mr. P. L. Kalra appearing for the petitioner, refers to a judgment of the Supreme Court reported as Erach F. D. Mehta v. Minoo F D. Mehta1 wherein the Supreme Court was dealing with a provision of a partnership which was to the effect that "all disputes and questions whatsoever which shall either during the partnership or afterwards arise between the partners. . . . . shall be REFERRED TO to arbitration.

Tiwari appearing for the respondent, has fairly conceded to this position, and has said that the matter may be REFERRED TO to arbitration by me.
