3.

Counsel appearing on behalf of the parties on either side have placed reliance on the recent judgment of Supreme Court of India, in Harshbir Singh Pannu v. Jaswinder Singh, 2025 SCC OnLine SC 2742. Reliance has been placed on paragraph no. 415 (viii) of the said judgment which is set out below:

"415. A conspectus of our legal discussion is as under:- *** (VIII) Where an arbitral tribunal passes an order for terminating the proceedings under the Act, 1996, the appropriate remedy available to the parties would be to first file an application for recall of such order before the arbitral tribunal itself. The arbitral tribunal would then in turn be required to examine whether the order does or does not deserve to be recalled." 4.

In light of the above, let the petitioner move an appropriate application for recall of the order passed by the learned Sole Arbitrator. 5.

Needless to state, once such an application is moved, the learned Sole Arbitrator shall take a decision on the same. 6.

In light of the aforesaid, the present petition is disposed of. 7.

All the pending applications also stand disposed of. AMIT BANSAL, J DECEMBER 17, 2025/at O.M.P.
