In respect of identical contracts, I have already appointed an arbitrator. 2. I have heard the counsel for the respondents also. He does not dispute the fact that in identical contracts, I have already appointed an arbitrator. Therefore, I am of opinion that this arbitration request has to be allowed and the same arbitrator has to be appointed to arbitrate the disputes involved in this case also. Accordingly, I appoint Mr.Justice M.Ramachandran, 2/A, Sivam, Layam Road, Ernakulam, Kochi-682 011, former Judge of this Court, as the arbitrator to arbitrate the disputes between the petitioner and the opposite parties.
