Hiranmaye Energy Limited v. Bharat Heavy Electronics Limited

OD SL-4

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Ordinary Original Civil Jurisdiction ORIGINAL SIDE (VIA VEDIO CONFERENCE) A.P. No. 253 of 2020 HIRANMAYE ENERGY LIMITED

Versus

BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRONICS LIMITED

BEFORE:

The Hon'ble JUSTICE SABYASACHI BHATTACHARYYA Date : 25th September, 2020 Appearance:

Mr. Rajeev Gurung, Adv.

...for the respondent The Court : The innocuous prayer made in the application is for extension of the time for completion of an arbitral proceeding, in view of the prevailing pandemic situation, for which regular sittings of the tribunal are not being held. In view of the severity and allied restrictions arising from current Covid-19 situation, such prayer is justified.

Accordingly, A.P. No. 253 of 2020 is disposed of by extending the time for completion of the arbitration proceeding pending between the parties for a further period of nine months from date, in terms of prayer (a) made in the application.

There shall, however, be no order as to costs. [ (SABYASACHI BHATTACHARYYA, J.)
