Admit. With the consent of Counsel and at their request the Appeals are taken up for hearing and final disposal.

1. These three appeals arise out of an order passed by a learned Single Judge on 19 January 2012 on an application for ad interim relief in a petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 and from an ad interim order dated 27 January 2012 on a Chamber Summons for amendment of the petition under Section 9. Two appeals against the order dated 19 January 2012 and against the order dated 27 January 2012 have been filed by the Second Respondent to the arbitration petition. One appeal by the First Respondent is against the order dated 19 January 2012.

2. All the appeals have been placed together by consent for hearing and final disposal and since the issues are common, they have been disposed of by this judgment. For convenience of reference it would be appropriate to refer to the parties as they appear in the arbitration petition under Section 9.

3. On 15 October 2009 a Media Rights Licensing Agreement was entered into between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (the Petitioner) and Nimbus Communications Limit
