This Court had passed the following order on 31.05.2024:"Heard learned counsel for the applicant.

¶11

The instant application was preferred under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that an agreement was entered between the applicant and the respondent on 28.02.2018, in terms whereof, the applicant was required to carry out certain work, for which, the respondent was ready to make the payment but it has not been done. The said agreement contained an arbitration clause in terms whereof the project Director of UPSGRCA was to act as an Arbitrator.

¶12

It is urged that the applicant had written letters to the department for release of the payment which was not been given any weightage. Accordingly, by means of the notice dated 10.04.2024, the applicant has invoked the arbitration clause. The letter was received by the respondent but they have not respond, as such the appointment procedure as agreed by the parties has failed.

¶13

Matter requires consideration. Let notice be issued to respondent. Steps be taken within one week. List on 29.07.2024. "

¶14

The service on the respondent was sufficient but no objection was filed, therefore, on the request of learned Standing Counsel, the time was granted twice to file objection.

¶15

Learned Standing Counsel submits that despite three letters written by him, none has contacted to file reply/objection.
