Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal under Article 136 regarding an arbitration award concerning demurrage and wharfage charges. The Court held that the appellant was entitled to recover Rs.13,94,982.46 based on the arbitration clause 9(a) of the agreement, which allowed for recovery of such charges unless caused by factors beyond the agent's control. The Court found that the earlier adjudication by the Manager did not cover disputes arising after November 1975, thus allowing the remaining claims to be arbitrable.
