Thanks experts.

There is nothing academic about this? Solution to a Practical Problem was sought.

Now this query will be raised at Forum.

Thanks Shailash Ji. Which of the two options will be better.

I am grateful to Respective advocate Bhartesh Goyal, who has opined as follows to the queries on the Forum

[1] Arbitrator can not leave the case on ground of non payment of fees by B
[2] Arbitrator can not force to B to make payment of fees.
In such a situation Arbitrator will charge entire amount of fees from A and will pass an order in Award to recover the same from B.

The relies of Shailash Ji and Bhartesh Ji
are different.

Dear Mr. Sandeep Kumar,
My replies based on :-

Section 39(1) provides that arbitrator shall have a lien on the arbitral award for unpaid costs of the arbitration, however on order of the court, arbitrator have to deliver award.
