Reference in this regard has been made to order dated 13.01.2023 passed in Arbitration Case No.02 of 2023, order dated 22.03.2023 Abr. Case No. 36 of 2023 alongwith connected matters and order dated 03.05.2023 passed in Arb. Case No. 86 of 2023 and the connected matters.
In view of above submissions and the orders passed in similar matters, the present petition is also disposed of on the similar lines. Hence, time for completion of arbitration proceedings by the Divisional Commissioner Shimla, Division Mandi-Sole Arbitrator in cases under reference is extended by six months, to be reckoned from today. The parties through their learned counsel are directed to appear before the learned Arbitrator on 12.06.2023.
