JSA successfully advised and represented Foundation to Educate Girls Globally(“FEGG”), a non-profit organisation (“NGO”) focused on mobilising communities for women’s education in rural and educationally backward areas, in relation to resolution of disputes with a former licensor of a premises taken on leave and license (“Respondent”).
The dispute between FEGG and the Respondent related to the pending refund of the security deposit and additional security paid by the FEGG as per the Leave and License Agreement entered into between the parties. In this regard, owing to the continuous failure of the Respondent to refund the same, JSA on behalf of FEGG filed an application under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“Act”) before the Bombay High Court, for resolution of the disputes arisen between the parties.
JSA represented FEGG before the Bombay High Court in the Section 11 application wherein an order was passed by the Bombay High Court appointing the Ld. Sole Arbitrator to adjudicate the disputes between FEGG and the Respondent.
Thereafter, JSA advised and represented FEGG before the Ld. Sole Arbitrator and was able to obtain a favourable award with directions to the Respondent to make payment towards dues owed to FEGG with interest.
As FEGG is an NGO registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, JSA represented the party on a pro bono basis in the proceedings before the Bombay High Court and the Ld. Sole Arbitrator.
