Some times court can compel to the parties for approaching the arbitratror, because when there is an arbitration clause then court will have no jurisdiction.
Even on the application by the parties court can consider the arbitration clause.

Dear,

If there is a clause for ARBITRATION then Civil Court can not try the suit and only remedy is to take action under Arbitration Act.
