1 aa 16.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD ARBITRATION APPEAL NO. 16 OF 2011 Indukesh Travels .. Appellant Versus 1. General Manager, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. and another .. Respondents Shri N. R. Thorat, Advocate for the Appellant. Shri Alok Sharma, Assistant Solicitor General for Respondent Nos. 1 and 2. CORAM : S. V. GANGAPURWALA, J. DATE : 26TH SEPTEMBER, 2011. PER COURT : . The appellant had filed an application U/Sec. 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 claiming multiple reliefs. The Principal District Judge partly allowed the said application, directed the respondents to allow the petitioner to continue with the rest of the period of contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement i. e. up to 30 th June, 2011. The rest of the reliefs such as seeking stay to black listing the petitioner, etc. were not granted and the Principal District Judge 2 aa 16.11 observed that the same may be decided by the arbitrator. The appellant being aggrieved by the non grant of the said relief has filed the present appeal. 2. Shri Thorat, the learned counsel for the appellant submits that the facts and circumstances of the present case did not warrant black listing the appellant. The appellant is not guilty of any breach of contract, as such could not have been black listed. The learned counsel contends that the Principal District Judge should have taken into consideration this aspect of the case, but has erroneously not considered. The learned counsel contends that the appellant would approach the arbitrator, but till that time the rights of the appellant need to be protected. 3. Shri Sharma, the learned Assistant Solicitor General supports the order and submits that no fault can be found in the order passed by the Principal District Judge. 4. Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996 is meant for interim measures. The Principal District Judge has considered about the period of contract and directed the respondents to allow the appellant to continue for the rest of the 3 aa 16.11 period of contract. As far as the aspect about black listing the appellant is concerned, the same would require a detailed enquiry and the order had already taken effect. As such, no error can be found in the order of the Principal District Judge in observing that the matter regarding black listing can be considered by the arbitrator. The doors of the appellant are not closed. In view of above the appeal is not entertained and same is dismissed, however, with no order as to costs. [ S. V. GANGAPURWALA, J. ] bsb/Sept. 11
