gya 3.It is seen that an award has already been passed on 09.06.2025 directing the respondent to pay a sum of Rs.6,54,189/-. The specific case of the applicant is that till date, the award has not been challenged. The applicant is also not able to take possession of the vehicle. It is under these circumstances, the present application has been filed before this Court. 4.Considering the fact that an award has been passed and the applicant must be able to recover the amount from the respondent, this Court is inclined to appoint a receiver.
5.Accordingly, Mr.Niesh Kumar, Area Receivables Manager, is appointed as the receiver and the 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. 6.Notice to the respondent returnable by 02.02.2026. Private notice is also permitted.
List this application on 02.02.2026."
3.When the matter came up for hearing on 02.02.2026, this Court passed the following order :
"Private notice has been sent to the respondent and the acknowledgment for the receipt of the same or the returned cover is yet to be received by the learned counsel for the applicant. Even in the internet portal tracking, the status is shown as pending.
2.Hence, post this application on 09.02.2026." 4.It is seen that the same status continues. Hence, the order passed by this Court on 16.12.2025 is made absolute.
Accordingly, this application is disposed of. gya 09.02.2026 Arb Appln No. 1682 of 2025 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
