FAO 20 of 2020, CM Appl. 1180 of 2020, CM Appl. 1182 of 2020 and CM Appl. 26555 of 2020
Decided On : 01-03-2021




Appointment of a receiver under arbitration law requires prior notice; subsequent settlement of disputes negates the need for such measures.

Headnote:(A) Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 - Section 9 - Appeal against appointment of receiver - The appellant contended that no prior notice was given before the impugned order was issued, and disputed the loan transaction - Following a settlement, the appellant paid Rs. 1,20,000/- to resolve all claims, leading to the discharge of the loan and return of the vehicle - (Para 3, 4, 7)

(B) Dispute Resolution - Settlement between parties - Parties reached a full and final settlement, leading to the conclusion that no further claims remained - (Para 4, 5)

Facts of the case:
The appellant challenged the appointment of a receiver for possession of an autorickshaw without receiving notice and disputed a loan transaction. Subsequently, the dispute was resolved through payment to the respondent.

Findings of Court:
The court set aside the impugned order, recognizing the settlement reached by the parties.

Issues: The core issue was whether the appointment of a receiver was justified without prior notice and whether the dispute was satisfactorily resolved.

Ratio Decidendi: The court emphasized that after the parties reached a settlement, there were no remaining disputes to adjudicate, thus rendering the appointment of a receiver unnecessary.

Result: Appeal allowed and the impugned order set aside.
