S. K. Mahajan, J. ( 1 ) THE application is opposed by the respondent mainly on the very grounds on which the respondent has sought the revocation of authority of the arbitrator in O. M. P. No-237/97. For the reasons given in my order dismissing the petition of the respondent under Section 5, 11 and 12 of the Arbitration Act being O. M. P. No-237/97, I am of the opinion that no ground whatsoever has been made out for opposing the extension of time to enable the arbitrator to proceed further in the matter. ( 2 ) ACCORDINGLY, allowing the application, I extend the time to enable the arbitrator to make and publish his award by four months from the date of this order. The petition, accordingly, stands disposed of.
