“The words ‘Children’s Court’ and ‘Court of Sessions’ in JJ Act, 2015 and the Rules thereunder were directed to be read interchangeably. Primarily jurisdiction vests in the Children’s Court. However, without the constitution of such Children’s Court in the district, the power to be exercised under the Act is vested with the Court of Sessions.”

The Delhi High Court held that even if the Contract clearly stated that before resorting to arbitration, the parties agreed to explore Conciliation by the Committee, the same cannot be held to be mandatory in nature. Further, the Court held that in case of urgency, arbitral proceedings can be initiated even when conciliation proceedings were pending.
