F.I. Rebello, J.1. Both the petitions are being disposed of by a common order as there are common challenges in both the petitions. The common challenges may be set out as under :(1) There was no agreement for Arbitration in writing between the parties. Consequently the Award of the Arbitral Tribunal is without jurisdiction.(2) The Arbitral Tribunal conducted the proceedings in Hindi, though a request was made to conduct them in English. Minutes of the order of the Arbitral Tribunal were made available to the petitioners as requested but were made available to the respondents as demonstrated by the respondents producing the minutes before this Court. It is further contended that though the proceedings were to be in Hindi, nevertheless an Award is passed in English. In these circumstances the petitioners were denied opportunity, of presenting their case. The Award is, therefore, liable to be set aside on that count.
