Schaft's in charge of this but here's what I can tell you.

The company leaders have decided to punish Farid by: a, forcing him to pay a fee (which he probably can't afford) and exiling him; b, gives him a chance to dispute the sentence by dueling Ashav's representative. Farid chose the latter.

Farid did save Tsleeixth's life in Windhelm, so would he be that eager for an execution?

Normally he wouldn't be but Tsleeixth is rather angry/disgusted with Farid for, what he sees, as a betrayal within/towards the company. Argonians are big on loyalty after all, so I don't think it'd sit well with him how Farid basically murdered Orakh in cold blood. Perhaps if he had confronted the Orc more openly, challenged him to a duel, he wouldn't be so angry.

EDIT: Also, wasn't Keegan the one that saved Tsleeixth's life in Windhelm?
