Only difference was that the nature of work despite being same in one case related to the district of Patna but the present writ application relates to the district of Nalanda. Considering the entirety of the dispute and the kind of materials which had come on record in the earlier writ application the Court came to a considered opinion that the parties will best be served or their interest protected if they resort to clause of arbitration which has been provided for in the agreement, which is annexure-3 to the writ application. The issue being similar the parties are free to resort to arbitration with a clarification that for undisputed work if the payments have not been made petitioner and respondents sit across the table and settle that part of the dispute. The other dispute about termination of the agreement etc. will have to 2 await the outcome of the arbitration. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observation. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
