(1.) THIS is a revision application by the defendants in a suit which was referred to arbitration through the intervention of the court against an order of the Civil Judge sojat pronouncing judgment and granting decree according to the award under section 17 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 on the ground that no notice as contemplated under Section 14 (2) was given and they were consequently deprived of an opportunity of filing objections against the award.
(2.) THE application was contested on behalf of the plaintiffs. A number of preliminary objections were taken. But before going into them it is necessary to state the facts.
(3.) SO far as Mangilal and Ramchander are concerned they were neither present personally nor through counsel on 23-12-54 and it cannot be said that notice under Section 14 (2) was given to them.
