    Mr. Mukul Bhimani, Counsel for the respondent
    no.1 through VC
    Mr. R.K.Dhawan, respondent no.2/Ld. Arbitrator
    through VC
    Respondent no.2 submits that he has already
    submitted the entire arbitral record in the Court. At this stage,
    respondent no.2 further submits that his name may be deleted
    from the array of respondents because he was appointed as
    Arbitrator by the Hon’ble High Court, and after concluding
    proceedings, he has already passed the award which has been
    challenged, to which Ld. Counsel for petitioner has strongly
    opposed. However, it would be considered on NDOH.
    Ld. counsel for respondent no.1 seeks some time to file
    reply. Let the same be filed within 30 days, with advance copy to
    petitioner.
    List the matter for arguments, on 18.02.2026.
