Respondents Mr. A.F. Diniz, Advocate for the Appellants. Mr. Y. Nadkarni, Advocate for the Respondents. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 16th December, 2010 P.C. Heard learned Counsel Mr. Diniz for the appellants and Mr. Y. Nadkarni for the respondents. 2. This application is preferred against order dated 25-10-2010 passed by the District Judge, North Goa, Panaji, in an application under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. 3. The grievance made by the appellants in this appeal is that the impugned Ex-parte order passed by the District Judge is without any reasons and causing serious prejudice to the appellants and therefore the same is liable to be set aside. 4. Mr. Nadkarni states that the appellants has not disclosed correct facts which the appellants were bound to state and therefore no interference is warranted with the impugned order. Mr. Nadkarni further submits that matter is on 04-01-2011 before the District Court for filing rejoinder on behalf of the respondents and states that he will file rejoinder on behalf of the respondents 5. In view of the above, District Court, North Goa, Panaji is directed to dispose of Miscellaneous Civil Application No. 206/2010 expeditiously in any case on or before 24-01-2011. It is made clear that I have not interfered with the impugned order passed by the District Court and nor expressed any opinion on the merits of the rival claims. 6. Appeal accordingly stands disposed of. A. P. LAVANDE, J. EV
