Civil Revision No.1464 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** Civil Revision No.1464 of 2009 Date of Decision:30.04.2009 Joginder Singh .....Petitioner Vs. Mohan Lal and another .....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present:- Ms. Manu Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. **** A.N. JINDAL, J. This petition is directed against order dated 31.10.2008 passed by the Additional District Judge, Kurukshetra dismissing the objection petition filed by Joginder Singh – objection petitioner (herein referred as `the petitioner'). The main ground of attack made by the objector is that he was proceeded against ex parte and he had no knowledge of the award. I have perused records. The hypothecation agreement was executed between the parties on 20`.2.2004 and the award was announced on 13.7.2005. The copy of the award reveals that before the award was passed, both the respondents were served through registered post AD, they did not put in appearance despite service. Thus, petitioner can be imputed due knowledge of the award. It is further revealed that the award was conveyed to the petitioner but despite that he did not come forward to file objection petition and he filed the same after two years i.e., on 24.5.2007 Civil Revision No.1464 of 2009 -2- which is clearly time barred in view of Section 34 of the Arbitration and Re- conciliation Act, 1996. Hence, no grounds to interfere. Dismissed. April 30, 2009 ( A.N. JINDAL ) renu JUDGE
