Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed issues under the Arbitration Act, 1940, specifically Sections 14, 17, 29, 30, and 33, regarding the setting aside of an arbitrator's award due to lack of evidence and erroneous legal propositions. The Court emphasized that an award must be read as a whole and that an unreasoned award can be challenged if it contains errors apparent on its face. The Court held that interest pendente lite cannot be granted unless specified under the Interest Act, 1978, and ultimately dismissed the appeals challenging the arbitrator's award.
