1 S.B.Arbitration Application No.6/2009 Saboo Sodium Chloro Limited V/s M/s Abdos Chemicals 15.7.2010 Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Jagdish Bhalla Mr.Venkatesh Garg for the applicant. Mr.K.S.Sharma for the respondent. The learned counsel for the respondent submits that the matter is time barred as all the payments were made to the applicant on 15th September, 2005. On the other hand, it has been submitted that the applicant has called upon the respondent side through legal notice dated 21.12.2006 to pay Rs.2,62,881/-. Thereafter, on 25th April, 2008, the applicant gave another legal notice for appointment of Arbitrator and also proposed the name of Shri D.R.Mudgal, Advocate, Rajasthan High Court for appointment as Arbitrator to resolve the dispute. However, no reply was given to that notice. Even no reply has been filed to this application for appointment of Arbitrator. In light of the facts referred to hereinabove, I find that the jurisdiction of this Court has been invoked within time and therefore, it cannot be said that the matter is time barred. In the circumstances, the learned counsel for the respondent agrees to the appointment of Arbitrator. However, his prayer is that some Member of the Bar be appointed as Arbitrator. Both the parties agree that Mr.U.N.Bhandari, Sr.Advocate, Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur be appointed as Arbitrator. 2 Accordingly, Mr.U.N.Bhandari, Sr.Advocate, Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur is appointed as Arbitrator and the matter is referred to him alongwith claim and counter claim. The Arbitrator will fix his fee according to the Arbitration Manual. With these observations, the application stands disposed of. (Jagdish Bhalla)C.J. Parmar
