% 26.11.2019 The present petition has been filed by the petitioner under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 for appointment of a sole Arbitrator.

Mr. Amit K. Singh, learned counsel appearing for the respondent has given consent for appointment of a sole arbitrator. My attention has been drawn to the relevant arbitration clause in the agreement between the parties at page 22 of the documents. The counsel for the parties state that the policy which binds the parties, has been issued from Delhi only and the loss has also occurred here. Even the claim was made in Delhi.

Accordingly, noting the same, this Court appoints Justice G.P. Mittal, a Retired Judge of this Court as a sole Arbitrator, who shall adjudicate the disputes and differences between the parties. The terms of the appointment

of the sole Arbitrator shall be regulated by the rules of the DIAC. The parties shall appear before the learned Arbitrator after taking a prior appointment on the mobile number, i.e. 9910384619. Let a copy of this order be sent to Justice G.P. Mittal, a Retired Judge of this Court.

The petition is disposed of.
