Judgment
Jyoti Singh, J
Mr. Majithia, learned counsel for the respondent, on instructions, submits that since similar matters are being adjudicated by the Arbitral Tribunal
constituted pursuant to the order of this Court in Arb. Petitions Nos. 745/2019 and other connected matters, decided on 11.12.2019, respondent has
taken a decision that the Award passed in those proceedings would be treated as an Award, with respect to the contracts which are subject matter of
these petitions, so as to avoid multiplicity of litigation.
Mr. Bishnoi, learned counsel for the petitioners has sought instruction on this aspect from the petitioners. He submits that the petitioners are willing
to accept this course of action and would treat the Award that would be passed in the pending proceedings before the Arbitral Tribunal as an Award,
for the contracts in the present cases.
With the consent of the parties, the present petitions are disposed of recording the undertakings as above. Since the parties have consented as
above and the Award passed in similar cases being adjudicated by the Arbitral Tribunal constituted by Justice Swatanter Kumar, former Judge of
Supreme Court of India would be an Award governing the present contracts, no further orders are required to be passed in the present petitions for
appointment of a separate Arbitrator. Needless to state, that the parties shall be at liberty to take recourse to remedies available to them in law against
the Award so passed.
The petitions and the application filed herewith are disposed of in the above terms.
