2. The appellant, who is the respondent in arbitral proceedings, is the
sub-lessee of the respondent. By order impugned herein, the appellant was

2025 amounting to Rs.23,18,253/- and all further rents payable for the
subsequent months within a period of two weeks from the date of the order
along with the contractual rate of interest. The appellant was also directed to
pay the claimant a sum of Rs.17,86,827.28 within two weeks from receipt of
a copy of the order.
3. Learned senior counsel for the appellant submits that the sum of
Rs.17,86,827.28 was deposited under D.D.No.152493 pursuant to an
https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis application filed in that regard by the respondent. He submits that learned
Arbitrator erred in directing that said amount be paid to the respondent
/claimant instead of being deposited to the credit of the arbitral proceedings.
As regards payment of rental arrears, he submits that the claim of
Rs.90,71,672/- has been made by the respondent, but said claim is not
admitted by the appellant. He also submits that the appellant is ready and
willing to create a fixed deposit for a sum of Rs.25 lakhs within three weeks
from today and another fixed deposit for a sum of Rs.25 lakhs within six
weeks.
4. Accordingly, the following interim directions are issued:
(i) The appellant is directed to create a fixed deposit account for a sum
of Rs.17,86,827.28 as replacement for D.D.No.152493. Such fixed deposit
account shall be in the name of the respondent for an initial term of one year
on auto renewable basis until disposal of the arbitral proceedings. The
original fixed deposit receipt or its electronic equivalent shall be handed
over to the arbitrator. This shall be done within two working days from the
date the appellant receives D.D.No.152493 from learned Arbitrator.

for a like sum of R.25 lakhs within six weeks from today. These fixed
deposits shall be on the same terms as indicated in clause (i) and originals

respondent, for the period commencing from May 1, 2026, shall be paid

month.
(iv) Subject to the above conditions, there shall be an order of interim
