MADAN LAL vs SUNDERLAL & ANOTHER

The Supreme Court held that an objection to an arbitration award must be filed within 30 days of receiving notice, as stipulated by Article 158 of the Limitation Act, 1908. The Court clarified that while an objection petition can be treated as an application to set aside the award under Section 30 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, it must still comply with the limitation period. The appeal was dismissed, affirming that the trial court's decision to uphold the objection was incorrect due to the late filing of the objection.
