1 C.R. No. 653 of 2006 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH --- Civil Revision No. 653 of 2006 Date of Decision: 9.9.2009. Ashok Leyland Finance Limited and another … Petitioners Versus Hira Singh … Respondent …. CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL *** PRESENT: Mr. A.S. Virk, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. H.S. Baath, Advocate for the respondent. --- AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J In this revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India the prayer is for setting aside the order dated 27.8.2005, Annexure P-6, passed by the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Amritsar, whereby an application under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, filed by the petitioners for referring the matter to the arbitrator had been dismissed. A further prayer was also made for referring the dispute to the Arbitration, in view of hire- purchase agreement executed between the parties on 30.5.2002. Learned counsel appearing for the parties state that this Court, while admitting the revision petition on 13.2.2007, had specifically ordered that the interim order passed on 3.2.2006, staying 2 C.R. No. 653 of 2006 further proceedings before the trial court, shall not preclude the parties to seek appointment of an Arbitrator in terms of the agreement between the parties. Learned counsel further submit that after the filing of this revision petition, an arbitrator had been appointed and he has already passed an award dated 18.2.2006, a photo-copy of which has been placed on record as Annexure A-1. In view of the above development that took place during the pendency of this revision petition, the prayer made in the present petition has been rendered infructuous. The revision petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) September 9, 2009 JUDGE *RKMALIK
