Written statement filed on behalf of respondents No.1 to 3 is taken on record. 2. The contention in the writ petition is that the black- listing of the petitioner done was unjustified and ought to be set aside. The contract under which the petitioner was allowed to be a transporter from the Indian Oil Corporation provides for a clause for arbitration for disputes and the issue of black-listing that is taken against the petitioner is definitely an arbitral dispute, which shall come within the purview of the arbitration CWP No.19162 of 2011 (O&M) [2] agreement. The objection of the Corporation that the appropriate remedy shall be to seek recourse through Arbitrator has to be upheld. 2. The petitioner is at liberty to invoke the arbitration agreement and seek for a reference to an Arbitrator in the manner contemplated under the contract. It is only expected and desired that the arbitral proceedings come through a quick conclusion to make meaningful the petitioner's grievance that before the contract period, the adjudication must be completed. 3. The writ petition is disposed of. NOVEMBER 02, 2011 ( K. KANNAN ) Rajan JUDGE
