Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the execution of an arbitration award, confirming that the appellants were liable to pay the Faridabad Development Board and that the respondents were entitled to reclaim possession of the property upon default. The Court found no merit in the appellants' claim of non-cooperation by the respondents, establishing that the award's terms clearly allowed for possession to revert to the respondents if the appellants failed to fulfill their payment obligations. The Court emphasized that the award was not merely declaratory but intended to enforce rights, thus affirming the enforceability of the decree based on the award.
