Adv Aashutosh has carved out a niche in arbitral disputes. He has won many business/commercial claims cases for his parties. One such case that attracted much media attention was the arbitration award he won in favour of his client – Smita Chinoy, last year on April 22, 2021. Mrs. Chinoy is one of the partners in Eighteen Degrees North, which runs Tandoori Knights, a branded name in restaurants offering catering services. The long-pending legal dispute between Eighteen Degrees North and Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) Pune aroused when the latter abruptly terminated the contract with the former service provider after using its services from 2015-to 2016. Both parties filed claims and counterclaims before the tribunal on the advice and action of Adv. Srivastava, his client, Eighteen Degrees North, moved to the National Company Law Tribunal. With his superb skill of arguments, detailed study, and considering all the vital aspects, Adv Aashutosh was able to convince the sole arbitrator Justice Mohit S Shah, to pass the award proceeding (amounting to Rs 82.77 lakhs) in favour of Eighteen Degrees North striking down the RWITC’s claim.

The case was registered on a complaint filed by NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) and other firms against the directors of UCX, a commodity firm, for cheating shareholders and falsifying documents. The ace lawyer proved that the police had filed a complaint and issued a lookout notice for his client without any investigation. Further, the investigating agencies never called his client for questioning in the three years of filing the case.
