Appellant Versus Punjab State Co-operative Society and another .......Respondent(s) Coram: Hon'ble Ms Justice Nirmaljit Kaur -.- Present: Mr. K S Rikhi, Advocate for the appellant Mr. Vishal Choudhri, Advocate for respondent No. 1 -.- 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Nirmaljit Kaur, J.(Oral) This is an appeal against the order dated 22.09.2008 passed the District Judge, Amritsar, vide which the Award dated 07.11.2005 passed by the Arbitrator was set aside and the matter was remanded back for adjudication. The aforesaid order has been challenged with a prayer for modification only to the extent vide which the matter has been referred back to the same Arbitrator for fresh decision. The only prayer made by the appellants is that the matter be sent FAO No. 2210 of 2009 2 to some other Arbitrator. Learned counsel for the parties have been heard. After having heard the matter, I do not find any merit in the prayer made by the appellants, in view of the fact that no allegation of mala fide or misconduct has been alleged against the Arbitrator. The Award was set aside on the ground that the same was an ex-parte award and it was held that the appellants were not served as per law. In view of the same, there is no merit in the prayer made and the appeal is accordingly dismissed. (Nirmaljit Kaur) Judge October 13, 2009 mohan
