Ld. Advocate for respondent no. 1 submits that respondent no. 1 was died on 17.09.2023. In the Arbitration Petition, respondent no. 1 was represented by Ld. Advocate Girish Kedia. Ld. Advocate Farid Karachiwala i/b. Girish Kedia made a statement that he is appearing on the instructions of Ld. Advocate for respondent no. 1 and they have informed names of legal heirs of deceased respondent no. 1 to the applicant's Advocate vide letter dated 09.12.2023 through Partner of J. Sagar Associates, and in spite of that, the applicant has not taken any steps to bring legal heirs on record.
