The Ad-interim order in terms of prayer clause (c) has already been made on 18th January,2005, which is presently operating. Taking overall view of the matter therefore, in my opinion, the following order would meet the ends of justice:- (i) Ad-interim order in terms of prayer clause (c) shall operate during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings, with liberty to the respondent to apply before the learned Arbitrator for vacation/modification of that order. (ii) The petitioner shall be at liberty to apply for any further interim relief that may be necessary, before 4 the Arbitrator. (iii) The learned counsel for the petitioner informs that today is the last date for filing the claim statement, and that, accordingly, the claim statement would be filed. The statement is accepted. (iv) All the contentions available to both the sides are kept open to be raised before the learned Arbitrator. 15.3.2005 ---
