2024 (4) TMI 870 - HC - Indian LawsArbitral Proceedings - Computation of one-year period for completing the proceedings - Rejection of request of the petitioner to extend the time and proceeded to post the proceedings for issues - exclusion of days during which the proceedings were stayed, for calculation of timeline of twelve months for completion of proceedings - HELD THAT:- From the order sheet of the Arbitral proceedings, it is seen that the petitioner who is respondent before the Arbitral Tribunal, took more than three to four adjournments to file its objection statement and also to file counterclaim. Thereafter, it took several adjournments and also sought extension of time to file surrejoinder. Admittedly, the Arbitral Tribunal entered reference on 17.11.2022, since then, the petitioner has filed six writ petitions challenging different interlocutory orders passed by the Arbitral Tribunal. It is deemed appropriate to dismiss the present writ petition with costs of Rs. 25,000/-, payable to the ‘Karnataka State Legal Services Authority’. The above cost shall be paid within two weeks from today and shall produce receipt for having paid before the Arbitral Tribunal - the question of maintainability of writ petition raised by respondents need no perusal. There is no merit in the writ petition - Petition dismissed.
