He contended that in the proceeding filed under Section 34 of the Act of 1996, quantum of compensation is questioned and therefore no 3 / 3 relief as prayed for by the petitioner can be granted. He submits that once there is an award by the Arbitrator, petitioner is having remedy to file appropriate application for execution under Section 36 of the Act of 1996. He also submits that next date fixed in proceedings under Section 34 of the Act of 1996, before the XI District Judge, Bilaspur is 18.09.2026. 3. In view of the submission made by learned counsel for respondent No.2 which is not disputed by learned counsel for the petitioner that award passed in Case No.185 A-82/2018-19 is challenged in the proceeding under Section 34 of the Act of 1996, I am of the view that no relief can be granted to petitioner, pending application under Section 34 of the Act of 1996, and further remedy available under Section 36 of the Act of 1996. 4. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed reserving liberty to file appropriate proceedings at appropriate stage. Sd/Sd Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) Judge Praveen
