NO. 34 of 2007 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of January , 2008 O R D E R Even though respondents have been served with notice, he has not entered appearance for resisting the prayers in this request. The prayer is that an arbitrator be appointed for settling the disputes, which have arisen between the parties concerning the business which has been carried on by them in partnership pursuant to Annexure I partnership deed. Annexure I deed contains a valid Arbitration Clause and when disputes arose that clause has been validly invoked by Annexure II. I do not find any ground for declining the request of the petitioner. The Arbitration Request will stand allowed. Advocate K.Padmanabhan of this court (and also of the Thrissur District Court) is appointed as arbitrator to settle the disputes between the parities, which is the subject matter of Annexure II claim notice and this Arbitration Request. The Arbitrator will also settle the counter claim, if any, which may be raised before him by the respondents. The AR No.34/2007 2 Arbitrator will enter on reference and pass award at his earliest.
