Kambli 1 Arbp895.09 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION ARBITRATION PETITION NO.895 OF 2009 ... Nitin Goel ...Petitioner v/s. Networth Stock Broking Ltd. and ors. ...Respondents ... Ms.Shilpa Kapil for the Petitioner. Mr.Dilip Rai i/b Archana Singh for the Respondent. ... CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH, J. DATED: 21st April, 2011 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for both sides. It is clear from the award that the award has been made by the learned Arbitrator without the Petitioner filing his reply despite several opportunities being given to him. Even the learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioner is not able to give any explanation, except to say that the reply was not filed because all papers were not supplied. Kambli 2 Arbp895.09 2. I do not find any application made before the Arbitrator or any letter written to the claimant making a grievance about non-supply of copy. It was claimed before me that the Petitioner had raised an objection to the appointment of Hon’ble Mr.Justice A.S.Aguiar (Retd. Judge of this Court) as an arbitrator. However, perusal of the minutes of the meeting dated 27th May, 2009 shows that the Petitioner had given his no objection to the appointment of Mr.Justice A.S.Aguiar (Retd.) as arbitrator. 3. I have perused the award. The award is based on pure finding of fact. There is no room to interfere, especially in view of the fact that the Petitioner despite he being given several opportunities has not bothered to file a reply. Petition is, therefore, rejected. Petitioner is directed to pay to the Respondent No.1 as and by way of costs of this petition Rs. 20,000/-. (D.K.Deshmukh, J.) Kambli 3 Arbp895.09
