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 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.

N. ANAND VENKATESH, J.

gya 2.When the application came up for hearing on 11.11.2025, 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 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 respondent has been returned with an endorsement "left". 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 is also not known. Hence, the apprehension of the applicant that the respondent is attempting to secret the vehicle is prima facie established. 4.In view of the above, Mr.Bonthapalli Srikanth Reddy, Area Legal

Manager, is appointed as Receiver for seizing the subject vehicle from the respondent or wherever it is found and by breaking open the premises, if required, with police aid.

This application is disposed of in the above terms. gya 08.12.2025 Arb Appln No. 144
