Nanjunda Shetty ... Petitioner v/s Tata Finance Ltd. nand anr. ... Respondents Mr D.M. Manoharan for Petitioner. None for Respondents. CORAM : D.K.DESHMUKH J. DATE : 10TH AUGUST 2004 - 2 - P.C.: - 1. This is a petition filed under section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996. The award impugned in the petition is ex-parte award. Admittedly, the petitioner did not remain present before the Arbitrator. He sought time on the ground that he is sick, but no medical certificate has been submitted. The Arbitrator has passed an ex-parte award which is under challenge. In any case, even the petitioner does not dispute that there is a hire purchase agreement. I do not think that this Court should interfere with the award in its limited jurisdiction under section 34 of the said Act. petition is disposed off. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Associate / Personal Secretary as true copy. . Certified copy expedited. ----------------
