The Court : AP No.480 of 2012 is a petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. GA No.1989 of 2012 is the respondent's application for vacating the subsisting interim order. GA No.2168 of 2012 is an application by the petitioner for steps being taken against the deponent of an affidavit affirmed on behalf of the respondent.

The petitioner moved the petition under Section 9 of the 1996 Act ex parte on the ground that if notice was served, the meagre assets of the respondent could be alienated with a view to avoid payment to the petitioner.

The injunction restraining the respondent and its men and agents from disposing of or selling or transferring or encumbering or letting out or charging or alienating or dealing with the Salt Lake property continues.
