Summary

No counsel appeared for the petitioner, and the court observed that the petitioner had lost interest in pursuing both the interim application and the arbitration petition. Consequently, the court dismissed the interim application and the arbitration petition for want of prosecution. No substantive merits of the dispute were addressed. The dismissal was purely procedural due to lack of prosecution.
