RAKESH KUMAR JAIN (ORAL) This appeal is directed against the order dated 1.9.2009 passed by the District Judge, Gurdaspur whereby award dated 15.9.2003 passed by the arbitrator was set aside partly in respect of 1.5 times of the economic costs on account of said shortage and interest of the amount of shortage of two qualities of paddy calculated at the rate of 21% thereof. The Award, on the other hand, in all other matters, was ordered to be maintained. F.A.O.No. 980 of 2010. 2 Learned counsel for the appellant fairly contended that though there is no error in the order dated 15.9.2003 passed by the District Judge,Gurdaspur that the Arbitrator Award in respect of 1.5 times of the economic cost of the said shortage and interest of the amount of shortage of two qualities of paddy calculated at the rate of 21% thereof is to be decided by the Managing Director of the Corporation and not by the Arbitrator, yet the order of the District Judge, Gurdaspur is silent about the matter to be re-agitated before the Managing Director of the Corporation. No merit. Appeal dismissed. However, while disposing it of, it is made clear that arbitral award in respect of 1.5 times of the economic costs on account of said shortage and interest of the amount of shortage of two qualities of paddy calculated at the rate of 21% thereof, the Managing Director of the Corporation shall take a decision in the matter in accordance with law. 19.5.2010 ( RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) Anoop JUDGE
