KANPUR NAGAR MAHAPALIKA vs M/S NARAIN DAS HARIBANSH

The Supreme Court held that an arbitrator's award cannot be set aside for an error apparent on the face of the award unless it involves a proposition of law that is not countenanced by law. In this case, the appellant's claim that the award was invalid due to the arbitrator's failure to consider the limitation under Section 326 of the U.P. Act 2 of 1916 was dismissed, as the arbitrator was not required to address every issue separately. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, stating that the arbitrator's award was valid despite any mistakes that did not appear on the face of the award.
