JUDGMENT

The petitioners have filed the writ petition seeking among other things a direction to the respondents to repay their deposits along with interest.

2. In response to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned counsel for the fourth respondent has submitted that the petitioners have already filed ARC for the same relief.

3. This Court cannot appreciate parallel judicial proceedings before different fora on the same cause of action.

4. In my considered opinion, the learned Arbitrator is competent to take a comprehensive view of the matter and render justice. Further, he is empowered to issue suitable interim directions as well, if the petitioners seek any. In the facts and circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.
