No need to go to the court arises at the first instance; you need to issue a notice to the other party invoking the arbitration clause. If you are unable to make any progress or if there is no agreed choice of arbitrator, then you need to approach your High Court for appointment of arbitrator. In any case, your regular civil court [junior division or senior division] does not have jurisdiction to pass any orders in this regard.

If in the agreement, arbitration clause exists, parties have to resolve the dispute through arbitration. Court is prohibited from resolving the dispute under S.8 of A&C Act.
However, Court can interfere to pass an interim relief/interim measure under s.9, but this does not prevent arbitration.
