The edtech major had filed the petition under Section 9 of The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has asked the Bureau of Immigration (BOI) to issue a look-out circular (LOC) against Raveendran, according to sources.

The move came as the agency's Bengaluru office is currently investigating alleged Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) violations against the company and its founder.

A LOC 'on intimation' was also issued against Raveendran more than a year and a half ago.
