Judgment

ORDER This writ petition is filed to issue a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to pass orders on the petitioner's representations dated

¶2This writ petition is not maintainable, since the remedy available to the petitioner is only to file an execution petition to execute the award passed under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 and there appears to be no application filed by the respondents for setting aside the award. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs.
