OMP No. 1197 of 2024

The applicant/petitioner has filed an application under Section 151 of CPC for extension of time to comply with the order dated 30.10.2023 passed in arbitration case No. 799 of 2023. It has been asserted that the applicant/petitioner filed a petition before the Court seeking an extension of time to enable the arbitrator to conclude the arbitration proceedings in reference No. 1376 of 2017. This petition was disposed of by this Court on 30.10.2023 by allowing the extension of time enabling the learned arbitrator to conclude the proceedings within six months. The parties were directed to remain present before the learned Arbitrator on 31.10.2023. Learned counsel representing the petitioner intimated this fact to the learned counsel appearing before the learned Arbitrator. He asked the learned counsel to download the copy of the order but he failed to do so. Learned Arbitrator could not

take up the matter in the absence of the order extending the time and the time granted by this Court stood expired. Hence, the application for an extension of time.
