OSA No. 16 of 1997 with OSA No. 9 of 1998. 13.5.2008 Present: Mr. Ajay Mohan Goel, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. S.D. Gill, Advocate for the respondent. OSA No. 9 of 1998 Mr. S.D. Gill, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Ajay Mohan Goel, Advocate for the respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the parties at length. With their consent, we decide to set aside the order of the learned Single Judge without recording any further reasoning and also with the consent of parties appoint Shri Rameshwar Sharma, District & Sessions Judge (Retd.) as an Arbitrator. We assess his fee to be Rs. 20,000/- and actual ministerial expenses not exceeding Rs. 5000/-. Parties agreed to bear the fee and the expenses equally. It is clarified that during the arbitration proceedings this fee would not be negotiable by the Arbitrator. It is further provided that earnest endeavour would be made by the Arbitrator to decide the arbitration within the stipulated period of three months. For this, it will be open for him to proceed on day- to- day basis. With these observations, we dispose of both these appeals. (Jagdish Bhalla) Chief Justice. (Rajiv Sharma) Judge. May 13, 2008.
