Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the term 'Malik Mustaqil' in the arbitration award conferred an absolute estate to M, as the language was clear and unambiguous. The Court ruled that even if the award were invalid, the plaintiffs' claim was barred by estoppel, as B's conduct led M to believe in the fairness of the award, which she accepted and acted upon. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the award's validity and the estoppel against the plaintiffs.
