Pending dispute anything if ahappens will not affect your right to arbitrate. Even otherwise, if there is a caluse in the agreement between you being a member and a non-member, the same can be pursued with arbitration proceedings.

Sir ,

the clause is in the invoice and the competition commission has disallowed the right to arbitrate with parties who are not members of the merchants association further more the oppsoing party has agreed to go in for arbitration in high court.

pls advise.
