THE GORKHAS.


Wars fought for glory

Lives lost for territory

Burnt houses all around

Silence breaks as the canon sounds

Only pain and suffering all around and 

peace is nowhere to be found.


They march on the distant lands,

shedding foreign bloods they charge.

Many lost their sons, 

many lost their brothers.

Fighting wars from one country to another

leaving footprints as they leave this world forever.


Their Bravery is widely feared

with loyalty that runs deep within.

A khukuri that gives them power and pride, 

Alas! for what a hefty price

A son of the soil who battled for another, 

A mass sacrifice still unjustified.

 

Corpses lying everywhere. 

death is just another phase of life.

and when the evening sun soaks their blood 

A prayer for the memory of the lost ones.


The world remembers their stories of gallant 

Their valor flows like a flood

Is it only violence what they can offer ?

is this repute the hefty price!

A gorkha's fire depicted with violence

The brave bhadur, a pawn, manipulated to win wars.

CONTRASTING VIEWS ON WHETHER THE ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL IS VESTED WITH THE POWER TO IMPLEAD PARTIES IN ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS.

Two coordinate benches of the High Court of Delhi have taken contrasting views with respect to the power vested with the Arbitral tribunal under section 16 of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act,1996. In Arupri Logistics (P) Ltd. v. Vilas Gupta, 2023 SCC OnLine Del 4297   it was held that an Arbitral Tribunal cannot join or delete parties, or proceed on principles akin to Order I Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908. The power to join or delete parties in a proceeding, it is held, vests only in Court. As such, it is only the Referral Court which, at the stage of referring the dispute to arbitration, can join non-signatories to the arbitral proceedings. The Arbitral Tribunal is bound to decide the issue inter se the parties who are before it and cannot carry out any addition or deletion thereto.
