For the respondents: M/S. N K Agrawal, Sr. Advocate, & Sunil Kr. Ravi. ------------ 02. 30.04.2010 In view of the certain developments which have taken place during the pendency of the writ application like assignment of contract of the left over work to yet another contractor, the completion of work and payment to the petitioner to the extent he had worked, the petitioner is not pushing the matter beyond a point. He, however, submits that there are certain orders which would be required to be thrashed out. Taking cue from the stand of the respondents that there is a clause for arbitration, petitioner would like to invoke that clause for adjudication of the issue which may be referred to the arbitrator if so advised. 2 Let steps be taken by the petitioner in this regard. If such a request is made, respondents will be well advised to respond quickly on the issue. The writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
