7. The said Award a copy whereof is annexed hereto and marked 'A' is incomplete in several respects. Respondent No. 2 has not given his decision on the disputes as to escalation of costs.

The respondent No. 2 is further required to adjudicate on the question of interest for the subsequent period till payment of the petitioner's claims by the first respondent.
9. In the facts of the case, your petitioner states that the Award be remitted to the respondent No. 2 with a direction to give his decision on the aforesaid points after hearing the parties if necessary even though all the relevant documents are on record of the said arbitration proceeding.
10. This Hon'ble Court will be pleased to fix a time within which the respondent No. 2 will give his Award including his decision on the above points.
11. Unless orders are made as prayed for herein, your petitioner will suffer loss and prejudice.
12. This application is made bona fide and in the interest of justice.
13. Your petitioner, therefore prays Your Lordships for the following orders:
(a) Award dated	given by respondent No. 2 be remitted to respondent No. 2 for submission of his decision on following points:
(i) whether the petitioner is entitled to and if so, to what extent, the escalation costs in the execution of the agreement?
(ii) whether the petitioner is entitled to payment for additional work done and if so upto what extent?
(iii) whether the petitioner is entitled to interest on its outstanding amounts, if so, the period for the same and the rate at which the petitioner is entitled to such interest?
(b) A time limit be fixed within which respondent No. 2 has to give his decision on the issues mentioned in prayer (a) above.
(c) Further orders be made and directions be given as to this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts of the case.
And your petitioner as in duty bound shall ever pray.
