skt/- arbp.810.09.sxw ..1.. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION ARBITRATION PETITION NO. 810 OF 2009 Citicorp Finance (India) Ltd. ...Petitioner. Vs. Chandrakant N. Dabhade ...Respondent. ..... Ms.S.I.Joshi a/w. Mr.Sanjay Anubhavane i/by S.I.Joshi & Co. for the petitioner. None for the respondent. ..... CORAM :- ANOOP V. MOHTA, J. DATED :- 13th JANUARY, 2010. P.C.- 1. The affidavit of service is filed. None appeared for the respondent, though served. As there is a consistent default, therefore, the petitioner has invoked Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (for short “the Arbitration Act”) for interim protection/interim relief. This Court on 13th November 2009, while admitting the petition, granted interim relief in terms of prayer clause (d). The averments made in the petition, therefore, remained uncontraverted. Therefore, as the case is made out by the petitioner for the grant of relief, and as the apprehension so raised that the skt/- arbp.810.09.sxw ..2.. arbitration petition is still pending, I am inclined to grant prayer clause (a-i) except the bracketed portion and prayer clause (d), granted earlier, is confirmed. The liberty is granted to the respondents to settle the matter and/or to apply for modification of the order, if necessary. This order shall continue till final decision of the arbitration proceeding, if already initiated. However, all points are kept open for the parties to raise appropriate plea/defence before the Arbitral Tribunal. 2. Resultantly, the petition is allowed in terms of prayer clause (a-i) except the bracketed portion and (d). No costs. (ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.)
