proceedings, learned counsel for the parties jointly request for an extension of twelve months.

¶22

I am informed that two witnesses of the petitioner/claimant have already been examined and one witness remains to be examined. Mr. Rishi K. Awasthi, learned counsel for the respondent, states that the respondent is likely to lead evidence of two witnesses. After that, the matter would have to be argued finally, and only then can the award be made.

¶23

In these circumstances, I am of the view that the request for extension of one year is reasonable.

¶24

In view of the above, and with the consent of learned counsel for that parties, the petition is allowed, and the mandate of the arbitral tribunal is extended for one year from 10.08.2024.
