The court of Distt Judge / High Court having original juridiction, is the Principal Civil Court as per definition of the Court in the ACA Act. Distt. Judge usually transfers such cases to Additional District Judge. But Allhabad High Court in one case has held that the Court of Distt. Judge is only competent Court to hear Arbitration matters.

As per recent judgment only the Principal District Judge is competent to hear the AOP's. For a relief under Section 9 you have to knock the doors of PDJ only.

No suit and application for interim releif may be filed before ADJ, directly, if it is not the principal court of jurisdiction. you must mention the particulars of the matter, so, the jurisdiction of court may be decided.
