HEMLATA MANIKCHAND CHUDIWALversusGTL INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED (GIL) AND ANOTHER

Disposal
DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The appeal is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file appropriate proceedings, and the pending civil application is disposed.

Summary

Hemlata Manikchand Chudiwal filed an arbitration appeal (Arbitration Appeal No. 36 of 2025) challenging an order and contended that the appeal under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 was not maintainable. The appellant sought leave to withdraw the appeal while preserving the right to initiate appropriate proceedings later. The learned counsel for the appellant argued that the statutory provision did not support the continuation of the appeal. The High Court examined the maintainability issue and, finding no merit in proceeding, allowed the withdrawal of the appeal. Consequently, the court dismissed the arbitration appeal as withdrawn and also disposed of the pending civil application (Civil Application No. 10205 of 2025).

           PER COURT :


           1.       The learned Counsel for the appellant submits that against the

           impugned order, an appeal under Section 37 of the Arbitration and

           Conciliation Act, 1996 is not maintainable.           He, therefore, seeks leave to

           withdraw the present Arbitration Appeal with liberty to file appropriate

           proceedings.



           2.       In view of the above, the Arbitration Appeal is dismissed as withdrawn

           with liberty as prayed for. The pending Civil Application also stands disposed

           of.



                                                                 ( ARUN R. PEDNEKER, J. )
