Family settlement arbitration agreement

In the civil court you are allowed to file an arbitration suit stating that since the arbitrator mentioned in the family settlement is no more, the case may be decided by any of the civil Judge as an arbitrator. Further, the mentioning of arbitration clause does not bar any aggrieved party to approach the civil court and you are allowed to file a civil suit for re-division. In case any of the LR’s object to this civil proceedings and say that the subject of the suit must be referred to an arbitrator and not to the civil court, then the court shall decide on such an application from the LR who so objects.
