These are petitions under section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. 2. By an ad-interim order dated 23.11.2010, I had permitted the application to be made without notice to the respondents. I had granted the reliefs in terms of prayer (d), which was for the appointment of a Receiver. At the ad-interim stage, the Court Receiver was to appoint the respondents as his agent on the usual terms and conditions, failing which to appoint any third party as the agent. I had granted an injunction in terms of prayer (e). 3. The parties were put to notice that the matter would be disposed of finally at the admission itself. 4. A copy of the order was served on the respondents, as is evidenced from the affidavit of proof of service filed by one Kiran Sanjay Katwe dated 10.12.2010. 5. The respondents are absent. There is no affidavit in reply. Prima-facie at least, the amounts are due and payable under the loan cum hypothecation agreements executed by the respondents in the above petitions. The vehicles/equipments have been hypothecated in the petitioners’ favour to secure the repayment thereof. 6. In the circumstances, the above petitions are disposed of on the same terms as the ad-interim order dated 23.11.2010.
