DATED: 30th June,2011. 2 ch220-ap819 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing for both the sides. Perused the proposed amendment, memorandum of petition and the reply filed by the respondent. I have also perused the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case State of Maharashtra Vs. Hindustan Construction Company Ltd., (2010)4 Supreme Court Cases 518 . It is apparent that in the petition already all the facts are pleaded which are necessary for arguing the grounds which are sought to be added by the amendment. Two out of the Three grounds which are sought to be added relate to the alleged breach of principles of natural justice by the Tribunal, therefore, they are related to Section 34(2)(b) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. In my opinion, considering that the necessary facts for arguing these three grounds are pleaded in the petition, it will be appropriate to permit the petitioner to add the grounds. The chamber 3 ch220-ap819 summons is, therefore, granted in terms of prayer clause (a). Amendment to be carried out within a period of one week from today. Put up the petition for admission on 14.7.2011. Chamber summons is disposed of. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) ---
