1 Arbp350.11 kambli IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION ARBITRATION PETITION NO.350 OF 2011 ... Grand Movers India & Ors. ...Petitioners v/s. L & T Finance Limited ...Respondent ... Mr.Charles D’souza i/b G.P.Raikar for the Petitioners. Ms.Shakuntala Joshi i/b S.I.Joshi & Co. for the Respondent. ... CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH, J. DATED: 5th August, 2011 P.C.: Admittedly the Petitioner was given notice by the Arbitrator. When the matter was fixed before the arbitrator on 30-10-2010, the Petitioner sent a telegram seeking adjournment. Pursuant to his request the matter was adjourned and the matter was posted on 26-11-2010. In the meantime, one Shri Biplab Kumar Dash , advocate filed vakalatname. On 26-11-2010 the advocate did not appear. He sent an application stating “that the case has been posted on 26-11-2010 for final hearing and disposal, but since I am 2 Arbp350.11 pre-occupied and unable to attend the case on the date fixed” and he sought adjournment. The Arbitrator, in my opinion, rightly did not adjourn the matter and proceed to pass the award. The conduct of the Petitioner and his advocate do not deserve any indulgence from any court. Petition is, therefore, rejected. (D.K.Deshmukh, J.)
