This matter is taken up through hybrid arrangement. 2. The Petitioners, by filing this Writ Petition, have made a prayer to quash the award dated 21.01.2008 passed by the Arbitral Tribunal under Annexure-1. 3. At the outset, learned counsel for the Opposite Party Nos.2 and 3 makes objection to the filing of the present Writ Petition stating that ARBA No.31 of 2022 filed by some other parties, who were the parties to the arbitration proceedings, is pending before this Court. 4. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the Opposite Party Nos.2 and 3, this Court is of the view that since the aforesaid ARBA is pending before this Court, let the Petitioners contest in the said ARBA and if Digitally Signed Signed by: GITANJALI NAYAK Reason: Authentication Location: OHC Date: 28-Jul-2025 18:20:56 Signature Not Verified the Petitioners are not parties to the said ARBA, they may be implead as parties by filing an application. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition, filed by the present petitioners lacks merit and is dismissed being not maintainable. 6. Interim order, if any, passed earlier stands vacated. (Dr. S.K. Panigrahi) Judge Gitanjali
