1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.993/2008 (Rajasthan State Road Limited & Development Construction Corpn. Ltd. & Ors. Vs. M/s. Five Star Builders & Contractors & Anr.) Date of order : 21.02.2008 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. Vinay Jain, for the petitioners. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. This writ petition has been filed by Rajasthan State Road Limited & Development Construction Corporation Limited through its Manging Director, so also, by resident Engineer Rajasthan State Road Development & Construction Corporation Limited, which was earlier known as Rajasthan State Bridge & Construction Corporation Limited. In connection with some dispute arose under a contract between the present petitioner and M/s. Five Star Builders & Contractors, the matter was referred to the Arbitrator. Before the Arbitrator, an 2 application was filed by the petitioner-Corporation that Irrigation Department may be impleaded as party because certain allegations are levelled by M/s. Five Star Builders & Contractors in his claim. The learned Arbitrator after considering the application and reply and the facts of the case, rejected the application while observing in the order that “the condition in para-7 only shows that the work should be to the satisfaction of the principal client's (Irrigation Department's) inspecting officer concerned and the Engineer-in-charge of the corporation. It does not in any way denote that the Irrigation Department is a party to the contract between the claimant and the respondents.” In my opinion, obviously, the contract was in between the petitioner Corporation and M/s. Five Star Builders and Contractors, therefore, the learned Arbitrator has rightly rejected the application filed by the petitioner. I see no reason to interfere with the order impugned dated 16.12.2006 (Annexure-4). Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J. arun
