IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.1832 of 2009 Date of decision: 1.4.2009 M/s Asia International Builders ......Petitioner Versus PUDA and another ......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG * * * Present: Ms. Pratibha Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. * * * Rakesh Kumar Garg, J. This revision petition has been filed by the petitioner for issuance of a direction to the District Judge, Ludhiana to close the rebuttal evidence of respondent No.1 and to decide the matter expeditiously pertaining to arbitration case No.30 of 21.5.2002 which is fixed for 15.4.2009. As per the averments made in this petition, respondent No.1 entered into an agreement for construction of 84 LIG houses at Dugri Road, Phase-II, Ludhiana. A dispute arose between the petitioner and respondent No.1 which was referred to the Arbitrator (i.e respondent No.2) vide order dated 22.9.1997 passed by the Civil Judge (Jr. Division), Ludhiana. On 8.4.2002, the Arbitrator passed the award. Respondent No.1 has filed a petition under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 for setting aside the aforesaid award passed by the Arbitrator. The above said petition is pending in the Court of District Judge, Ludhiana. It is the contention of the petitioner that respondent No.1 is adopting a dilatory tactics and therefore, it is necessary to issue directions to the District Judge, Ludhiana as prayed. In support of his contention, CR No.1832 of 2009 -2- learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance upon the various zimni orders passed by the District Judge, Ludhiana in the case. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Admittedly, the petitioner has not objected to the various adjournments taken by respondent No.1 for producing his evidence. Moreover, it is for the petitioner to move necessary application before the trial Court for closing of the evidence of respondent No.1 in accordance with law. Thus, I do not find any merit in this revision petition. Dismissed. April 1, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) ps JUDGE
