3. On 16 October 2007, the company and Armada Singapore Pte Ltd
(Armada) entered into five year charter party agreement which
provided, inter alia, for Armada to supply vessels to ship the
company''s tonnage, namely coal or coking coal from various destinations
worldwide. Between late 2008 and early 2009, following the worldwide
economic crisis, Armada experienced serious financial losses resulting
into a large number of third party defaults under its shipping
agreements. As a result, during the course of 2009 Armada entered into
Judicial Management, a Singaporean insolvency regime. As a result of
Armada''s insolvency, the Company refused to make further nominations
since there was no assurance or security for Armada''s performance for
the balance period under the agreement.
Armada later on filed its claim submission in an arbitration proceeding
against the company before Arbitration Tribunal in London. Although
there was no specific clause on jurisdiction or applicable law in the
agreement and also the constitution of Arbitration Tribunal was not in
accordance with the agreement and even after the company''s repetitive
challenges to aforesaid, the Tribunal passed an order in favour of
Armada assessing the liability of the company towards Armada as
Rs.42.85 Crores (including interest of Rs.3.42 Crores).
Aggrieved by the aforesaid order the company has filed a civil suit
against Armada with the Hon''ble High Court at Calcutta claiming for
damages for an amount of Rs 144 crores and cancellation of the
aforesaid order being void and restraining Armada from giving any
effect to the order passed by the Tribunal. Subsequently, an order was
passed by the Hon''ble High Court at Calcutta restraining Armada to take
any further steps to enforce the award passed by the Tribunal in India.
The matter is presently sub judice before the Hon''ble High Court at
Calcutta.
