Digital PC Technologies Ltd. & Ors. ....Respondents Mr.Chirag Balsara i/b Goenka Law Associates for the Petitioner. Mr.P.N. Modi, with Mr.Deepak Dhane for Respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6. CORAM : S.J. VAZIFDAR, J. DATE : 15TH NOVEMBER, 2010. P.C. :- 1. The petition has been filed under section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. 2. Mr.Balsara seeks leave to withdraw this petition against respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6. 3. An ad-interim order dated 24.8.2009 was passed apparently without notice to respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6. The order affects respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6 who are not the parties to the arbitration agreement and who have raised various contentions including as to jurisdiction. Whether respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6 were given notice of the ad-interim application or not, admittedly they had not appeared before the learned Judge. 4. Mr.Balsara states that a suit has been filed inter-alia against respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6 including for the same reliefs as those claimed in this petition. An ad-interim application has been filed in the suit which is 2 arbp702-10 placed on 13.12.2010. 5. Mr.Modi has raised a serious grievance that this matter has been adjourned from time to time at the request of the petitioners as a result whereof, respondent Nos.4, 5 and 6 have not even had an opportunity of stating their case thus far. 6. Only with a view to accommodate the petitioner, while allowing it to withdraw the petition, the order dated 24.8.2009 is extended upto 14.12.2010. It is made clear that this is not on the merits of the matter and any application for extension of this order or for ad-interim reliefs shall be made before the appropriate Court. 7. The petition is accordingly disposed of as withdrawn subject to what is stated above.
