T.A. No. 39 of 2010 [ 1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Transfer Application No. 39 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 18.8.2010 Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation and another ... Applicants. v. M/s Dhos Agro Mills Private Limited and another .. Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. C. S. Bakhshi, Advocate for the applicants. Mr. P. K. Kataria, Advocate for the respondents. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the application is for clubbing the objection petitions filed by both the parties against the award of the Arbitrator at Chandigarh and Moga to either of the places. Learned counsel for the applicants submitted that in the present case, the sole arbitrator had given his award on 10.6.2007 against which the respondents filed objection petition at Moga. The applicants, being aggrieved against the said award, file objection petition at Chandigarh. In fact, court at Moga has jurisdiction to hear the objection petition against the award of the Arbitrator. The submission is that it would be appropriate if both the objection petitions are heard together and disposed of by one court, as the same will avoid any contradiction in the final judgment in case dealt with by different courts. Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that in the objection petition, they had already led their evidence and the case is at the fag end. Transfer of the objection petition filed by the applicants at Moga, which is at the initial stage of the trial, will delay disposal of the objection petition filed by them. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, in my opinion, the objection petition filed by the applicants at Chandigarh deserves to be transferred to the court at Moga, where the respondents had earlier filed their objection petition against the same award, as it will be in the interest of justice that objection petitions filed by both the parties against the same award of the arbitrator are heard T.A. No. 39 of 2010 [ 2] and decided by one court. The parties are directed to appear in the court of Mr. Raj Shekhar Attri, Additional District Judge, Moga on 27.9.2010, for which date the objection petition filed by the respondents is stated to be pending in that court. Considering the fact that the objection petition was filed by the respondents way back in the year 2007, the learned court below is directed to dispose of the objections expeditiously. The application stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 18.8.2010 mk
