¶81

THESE PETITIONS COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:

¶82

10

¶83

O R D E R

¶84

Sri. Padmanabha V. Mahale, learned senior

¶85

counsel for the petitioners and Sri. Ajesh Kumar S, learned counsel for the respondent, are heard, and the records perused.

¶86

The learned Senior Counsel and the learned counsel for the respondent submit that there is no dispute that the petitioners in each of these petitions have entered into a common Memorandum of Agreement dated 3.8.2006 with the respondent agreeing to offer their respective immovable properties for joint development, and in continuation of the terms of this Memorandum of Agreement, the petitioners have entered into separate registered Joint Development Agreement. The parties have agreed for consolidated development of the immovable properties and therefore have agreed for a common arbitration in the event of any dispute.

¶87

11

¶88

According to the petitioners, the dispute is because the respondent who is required to commence consolidated development of the subject immovable properties in terms of the Memorandum of Understanding/Joint Development Agreements has not commenced such development and therefore, the petitioners have issued legal notices invoking arbitration clauses as contemplated under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The respondent contends inter alia that the dispute raised by the petitioners is time barred but it is entitled for certain reliefs against the petitioners. Though the parties have exchanged notices for consensus as contemplated under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, there was no consensus as of the date of the petitions.

¶89

However, presently the consensus amongst the petitioners and the respondent, as submitted by the learned Senior Counsel and the learned counsel for the

¶90

12

¶91

respondent, is that a former Judge of this Court could be appointed as the sole Arbitrator to enter reference of all the disputes. In the light of the facts and circumstances of the case and the consensus amongst the petitioners and the respondent for the appointment of a common sole Arbitrator to enter reference of all the disputes, the following:

¶92

ORDER

¶93

[a] The petitions are allowed appointing

¶94

Hon’ble Mr. Justice H.G. Ramesh, a former Judge of this Court, No.342A, 10th Main, Sector 7, HSR Layout, Bengaluru - 560 102 [Mobile No.9448289028], as the sole arbitrator to enter reference of the disputes between the petitioners and the respondent and conduct proceeding at the Arbitration and Conciliation Centre (Domestic and

¶95

13

¶96

International), Bengaluru according to the Rules governing the said Arbitration Centre.

¶97

[b] All contentions inter se parties are left open for adjudication in the arbitration proceedings.

¶98

[c] The Office is directed to

¶99

communicate this order to the Arbitration and Conciliation Centre and Hon'ble Mr. Justice Shri H.G. Ramesh, former Judge, as required under the Appointment of Arbitrators by the Chief Justice of India Scheme, 1996.
