DATE : 18th April, 2011 PC : The above Chamber Summonses have been filed by the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) seeking condonation of delay of periods ranging from 48 days to 95 days in notifying the appointment of the Arbitrator in terms of the order passed by the learned Single Judges of this Court while disposing of the suits. The reasons for the delay have been mentioned in the affidavit in support in each of the above chamber summonses. The MTNL sought to serve the plaintiff/defendants as the case may be in each of the above matters at the address mentioned in the cause title of the suits but each of the packet has come back with the remark as not found/not available. Since the dispute was referred to the Arbitrator by an order passed in the suits in terms of the remedy available under Section 7(B) of the Indian Telegraphs Act,1985. In my view, interest of justice would be served if the delay in each of the above chamber summons in notifying the appointment of the Arbitrator is condoned. The above chamber ASN 3 CHS-1205.sxw summonses are accordingly allowed in terms of prayer clause (a). However, the Arbitrator is directed to issue notice to the concerned parties before he enters into the reference. Notice to give sufficient time to the parties. Chamber Summonses are accordingly disposed of. R.M. SAVANT, J. `
