ORDER
This application has been filed under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 for appointment of an Advocate Commissioner to seize the subject construction equipment in the custody of the respondents 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 14.10.2025, 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 respondents to ascertain as to whether the respondents 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 respondents has been duly served. Though the respondents have been served, there is no appearance either in person or through counsel. The whereabouts of the construction equipment is also not known. Hence the apprehension of the applicant that the respondents are attempting to secret the construction equipment is prima facie established.
4. In view of the above, Mr.Malla Chandrasekar is appointed as Receiver for seizing the subject construction equipment from the respondents 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
