ORDER

This application has been filed under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 for appointment of a Receiver to seize the subject vehicle/machine in the custody of the respondent or wherever found, if necessary, with police protection and by breaking open the premises and deliver the same to the applicant.

2. When the application came up for hearing on 09.10.2025, this Court, on carefully going through the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the application, thought it fit to order notice to the respondent to ascertain as to whether the respondent will be willing to settle the dispute.

3. When the matter was taken up for hearing today, affidavit of service has been filed and it is seen that the private notice sent to the respondent has been returned with an endorsement "unclaimed". It is clear from the above that the respondent is evading service, since the notice that was sent to the address found in the agreement, has been returned. The whereabouts of the vehicle/machine is also not known. Hence the apprehension of the applicant that

the respondent is attempting to secret the vehicle/machine is prima facie established.

4. In view of the above, Mr.Sumit Arora, Chief Manager, Emp.No.R33114 is appointed as Receiver for seizing the subject vehicle/machine from the respondent or wherever it is found and by breaking open the premises, if required, with police aid.

5. This application is disposed of in the above terms. 13-11-2025 Index:Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Internet:Yes ss To 1.M/s Pari Enterprises Rep.by its Proprietor Mr.Anurag, Opp Splash Water World, Khevat No.1817, Rohatak Bypass, Rajeev Nagar, Rohtak, 124001, Haryana.
