JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.Govind Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.A.R.Takkar, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr.Harsh Bunger, Advocate, for respondent No.2. **** JUDGMENT M.M.KUMAR, J. The prayer made by the petitioner in the instant petition is that the payment of its bills on account of operation and maintenance of the Common Effulent Treatment Plant (CEPT) at Leather Complex at Jalandhar be made and direction in that regard be issued to Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation-respondent No.1. There appears to be some dispute between PSIEC- respondent No. 1 and PLF- respondent No. 2. Respondent CWP No. 2360 of 2007 -2- No.1 accepts that the petitioner has executed the work with 90% efficiency as per its stand reflected in document Annnexure R1/2, on the contrary, PLF-respondent No.2 does not accept that any work has been done by the petitioner. On the suggestion made by learned counsel for the parties, we deem it just and appropriate to appoint Sh.B.S.Mehndiratta, District and Sessions Judge (Retd.) as an Arbitrator to decide the question, as to whether the petitioner is entitled to payment of the raised bills in pursuance to execution of work of operation and maintenance of the Common Effulent Treatment Plant (CEPT) at Leather Complex at Jalandhar, expeditiously. Let the complete paper book be sent to him within a week. Parties through their counsel are directed to appear before Sh.B.S.Mehndiratta, District and Sessions Judge (Retd.) on 15.5.2008. They have given an undertaking that they will remain bound by the award of the Arbitrator. The fee of the Arbitrator shall be settled by Mr.Mehndiratta himself in consultation with the parties, which shall be borne equally by them. The petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
