ORDER

This application has been filed under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 [for brevity 'the Act'] for appointment of a receiver to seize and deliver the vehicles to the applicant, if required, with police aid.

2. The applicant extended financial facilities to the respondents. Since the respondents committed default, a recall notice dated 14.08.2025 was issued and in spite of receipt of the same, there was no response from respondents. It is under these circumstances, the present petition came to be filed before this Court.

3. When the application came up for hearing on 19.11.2025, this Court issued notice to respondents.

4. Private notice has been served on the respondents and affidavit of service has also been filed. The names of respondents have also been printed in the cause list. However, the respondents are neither present nor represented through counsel. Hence, the apprehension raised on the side of the applicant that the respondents are trying to secret the vehicles is prima facie established.

5. In view of the above, Mr.S.Rajiv Bharathwaj, Assistant Legal Manager, is appointed as the Court receiver and the Court receiver is permitted to seize the vehicles from the respondents or wherever it is found and by breaking open the premises, if required with police assistance.

This application stands disposed of in the above terms. 15.12.2025 NCC:Yes/No 3/4
