The present proceedings have been continued, since it is the case on behalf of the Decree Holder ("DH") that in terms of the order dated 31st May, 2024, passed as aforesaid, the JD has paid only two installments. 6.
Per contra, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the JD submits that the JD is making every effort to comply with the directions of the learned Arbitrator, as well as this Court. He submits, on instructions, that the JD shall pay the requisite amount of Rs. 90,92,235/- (Rupees Ninety Lakhs Ninety Two Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty Five) to the DH in six monthly equated installments of Rs. 15,15,372.5/- (Rupees Fifteen Lakhs Fifteen Thousand Three Hundred Seventy Two and Fifty Paisa), each. 7.
At this stage, learned counsel appearing for the DH submits that some cheques, as given earlier by the JD in some other proceedings, were dishonored.

Responding to the same, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the JD, on instructions, submits that the JD shall give Demand Drafts ("DDs")/carry out online bank transfers of the equated installments to the DH, on or before the 07th day of each month.

By relying upon the aforesaid order, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the JD submits that a similar order be passed in the present matter.

Accordingly, it is directed that the JD shall pay the amount in terms of interim Arbitral Award/Order dated 14th May, 2024, as modified by this Court vide order dated 31st May, 2024, as noted hereinabove, in six equated monthly installments in the form of DDs/ online bank transfers, which shall be paid by the 07th day of each month.

The invoices, as issued, may record that the matter is pending before the Arbitral Tribunal and the invoices are being issued in the interregnum. 17.
Needless to state, the issuance of these invoices will not prejudice the DH in its claims and pleas before the Arbitral Tribunal. 18.
Liberty is granted to the DH to revive the present petition, in case of any default by the JD.
19.
Accordingly, with the aforesaid directions, the present petition, along with the pending applications, stands disposed of. MINI PUSHKARNA, J JANUARY 15, 2026/KR The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
