Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 30 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, an arbitrator is not required to address every dispute separately unless explicitly mandated by the arbitration agreement. The Court emphasized that silence on certain pleas implies rejection, and an award should be upheld if it is reasonably possible to do so. The appeal to set aside the award was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision to uphold the award despite claims of incompleteness regarding specific matters.
