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 vehicle to the applicant, if required, with police aid.

2. The applicant extended financial facilities to the respondent. Since the respondent committed default, a recall notice dated 06.05.2022 was issued and in spite of receipt of the same, there was no response from respondent. 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 respondent.

4. Private notice has been served on the respondent and affidavit of 2/4

service has also been filed. The name of respondent has also been printed in the cause list. However, the respondent is neither present nor represented through counsel. Hence, the apprehension raised on the side of the applicant that the respondent is trying to secret the vehicle is prima facie established.

5. In view of the above, R.Kamalakkannan, Associate Legal Remedial, is appointed as the Court receiver and the Court receiver is permitted to seize the vehicle from the respondent 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 gm N.ANAND VENKATESH, J.
