1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION ARBITRATION APPEAL NO. 33 OF 2009 Narsingrao Gurunath Patil ........Appellant versus Daulat Shetkari Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd.and others ........Respondent. None for the Appellant. Mr. Nitin Dhumal adv. for the Respondent no.1. CORAM: B. R. GAVAI, J. DATED : 15th January, 2010. P.C.: 1. The present appeal arises out of an order passed by the learned Principal District Judge, Kolhapur dated 19-12-2009 thereby rejecting the application filed by the appellant under sec. 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1991 (hereinafter referred to as said act). The interim relief that was sought in the application filed before the learned Principal District Judge was for stay to the continuation of the election process of respondent no.1 on the ground that there were some illegalities and violation of rules while preparing the electoral roll. The learned Judge while dismissing the application has found that by an interim order the election process cannot be stalled. It has been found that if the 2 party is aggrieved with the result of the election, it is always permissible for the party to challenge the said election by filing an appropriate election petition. 2. In that view of the matter no error could be found with the approach adopted by the learned Judge in rejecting the application. The appeal is therefore without any merit and as such is rejected. (B.R. Gavai, J.)
