¶2Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned counsel, who appeared on behalf of the respondent, would submit that the respondent had taken back the bundle along with change of vakalat from him. However, the respondent, who had filed a counter, had not taken any steps to engage a counsel and file the change of vakalat on his behalf.

¶3This Court during the earlier hearing on 01.07.2026 had directed the respondent to furnish security by considering the fact that in the counter filed, no reasons have been given as to why he is not required to furnish security, that too in a post-award application. In spite of which, the respondent's conduct is delaying compliance with the order dated 01.07.2026. It is only a dilatory tactics adopted by him. Page3 of 4
