ORDER SHEET OD-13 AP/184/2019

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION ORIGINAL SIDE

IN THE MATTER OF:

SREI EQUIPMENT FINANCE LTD.

VERSUS

LALITA DEVI

BEFORE:

The Hon'ble JUSTICE DEBANGSU BASAK Date:19th January, 2021.

(Via Video Conference) Appearance:

Mr. Swatarup Banerjee, Adv.

The Court: Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the asset is in the custody and control of the respondent. The disputes have since been referred to arbitration. Therefore, the present petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 is no longer maintainable. In such circumstances, AP 184 of 2019 is dismissed as infructuous. This, however, will not prevent the parties from raising the same points before the appropriate forum. All interim orders stand vacated. Learned Receiver stands discharged without the requirement to file accounts. (DEBANGSU BASAK, J.) sp/
