Authority: Hon'ble Justice Manoj Kumar Tiwari, Uttarakhand High Court

Case Overview

• Petitioner: Subodh Kudiyal (WPMS/2021/2026) vs Respondent: Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited.
• Relief sought: (a) mandamus directing respondent to return/release the seized vehicle in working condition with all documents; (b) restraining respondent from transferring, alienating, or using the vehicle pending adjudication; (c) quashing an ex‑parte arbitration award dated 30‑08‑2024.
• Background: Petitioner obtained a loan from Shriram Transport Finance; default led to arbitration as per loan agreement, resulting in an award against the petitioner.
• Counsel: Ms. Shruti Joshi (petitioner) and Mr. Suyash Pant (respondent).

Final Outcome

• The court held that the relief cannot be granted because an arbitration award has already been rendered.
• Consequently, the writ petition is dismissed; no mandamus is issued, and the arbitration award stands.
