New Delhi, May 5 (IANS): Former Jammu and Kashmir High Court Chief Justice Manmohan Sarin has been appointed as arbitrator in a dispute between Hero Fincorp Ltd and Feedback Power Operations and Maintenance Services Ltd, in connection with the Sanction of a Working Capital Term Loan.

Counsel for the respondent Feedback Power before the bench of Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva submitted that they are willing to settle their disputes with the petitioner and even had a meeting in the office of the petitioner.
