I have heard Ms. Jain, the learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner. By order dated 18 March 2026, this Court had issued notice to the Respondents in both the proceedings and had granted hamdust. Ms. Jain tenders copy of Affidavit of service which indicates that hamdust notices are served on the Respondent. She undertakes to submit in the Court within a period of one week. Though Respondent is duly served, he has failed to appear before the Court.

¶21

Perusal of the Loan cum Hypothecation cum Guarantee Agreement would indicate presence of arbitration clause no.23. This Court is satisfied about existence of arbitration agreement between the parties.

¶22

By order dated 13 March 2025, this Court had made adinterim measures in Section 9 petition in terms of prayer clauses (A), (B) and (C) therein. Ms. Jain however fairly submits that Petitioner has not approached the Court Receiver for implementation of ad-interim measures. She submits that in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case, Section 9 petition be converted into application under Section 17 of the Arbitration Act. I accordingly proceed to pass the following order :
