ORDER :

¶10

This is a Petition under Section 29A of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, seeking an extension of mandate of the Learned Arbitral Tribunal, which expired on February 17, 2026.

¶11

Learned Advocate on behalf of the Respondent seeks an adjournment in order to file a reply to the Petition filed under Section 29A of the Act. Having examined the record and considering the stage at which the proceedings are, and the time invested in the same, it is not quite necessary to permit pleadings in what appears to be a reasonable and routine request for extension of mandate of the arbitral tribunal.
