In a matter of dispute between the franchisee and franchisor according to the terms of agreement i referred a matter for arbitration to a senior advocate and he accepted through a letter of concent to arbitrate.
Before the Arbitration tribunal i filed vakalat and the otherside too filed a vakalat on behalf of the party. After one year of filing of vakalats and my persistent pressure the arbitrator concluded the enquiry.
Now more than one and half years have runby without his pronouncement of award. Later i came to know that the advocate on the opposite side and this arbitrator belong to same senior office. My insistence for pronouncement of award only gets back an untenable excuses from him like., typist didnt come, i am reading SC journal for this award etc etc.,
Now in light of delicacy involved in this issue i was hesitating to take any action. Now i decided to go further in the interests of my client. Plz advice me suitable action that i can take now.
I have my own ideas but i invite the advices from this forum since this is a professionally delicate issue but that matters the professional integrity by large in public. The conduct of this senior advocate reflects badly in the society affecting all of us who are in this profession. I expect an answer that would help me teach him a lesson. Thank You.

You move an application to the arbitrator deposing your nonfaith in him and change such arbitrator though it shall again take a long time but it is better to get rid of such blot on profession disease.
