Ltd.& anr. .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.S.K.Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is a rice mills who is aggrieved at the rejection of its objection by the Arbitrator regarding non production of the original agreement entered into between the Government Agency and the petitioner-mills. The petitioner is fully aware of the fact that the original agreement is in possession of the the Investigating Agency pursuant to the registration of the FIR No.15 dated 12.2.2003 and now appears to be a part of the report under Section 173 Cr.P.C., already submitted to the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate. C.R. No.4799 of 2009 (O&M) 2 The petitioner, however, taking a plea that the agreement is a forged one, has been insisting for the production of the original agreement. The respondent-PUNSUP firstly made efforts to secure the original agreement from the Court records, but having failed, has produced a certified copy of the same. In these circumstances, the Arbitrator appears to be right in directing the parties to proceed further for early disposal of the arbitration matter. The petitioner, if so advised, may summon a court official alongwith the original records of the FIR No.15 dated 12.2.2003 at his own risk and responsibility. However, the non-production of the original agreement which is beyond the control of the respondent, cannot be a pretext to delay the arbitration proceedings. The Arbitrator is directed to dispose of the matter as early as possible and preferably within six months. The revision petition is disposed of accordingly. 25-08-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
