arbap157-09 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY O.O. CIVIL JURISDICTION ARBITRATION APPLICATION NO.157 OF 2009 Idea Cellular Ltd. ....Applicant V/s. M/s.Thakkar Enterprises ....Respondent Mr.Meghnath Navlani i/b A. Kumar & Associates for the Applicant. None for the Respondent. CORAM : S.J. VAZIFDAR, J. DATE : 23RD SEPTEMBER, 2010. P.C. :- 1. This is an application under section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. 2. The parties have entered into a franchisee agreement which contains an arbitration clause. The Respondent having failed to pay the amounts thereunder, the Applicant by its advocate letter dated 28.8.2009 invoked the arbitration clause inter-alia by suggesting the name of the sole arbitrator. There was no response to the letter. I presume therefore, that there was no objection to the arbitrator as such. 3. The arbitration application is therefore, disposed of by referring the disputes and differences between the parties to the sole arbitration of Ms.Sabeena Mahadik, an advocate of this Court, as a sole arbitrator.
