SHRI JAGDISH CHANDER BHATIA vs SHRI LACHHMAN DASS BHATIA

The Supreme Court held that under Sections 30 and 33 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, an award can only be set aside for misconduct if there is an infirmity on its face. The Court found that the Arbitrator had made a speaking award and adequately considered the relevant documents, thus rejecting the appellant's objections. The Court emphasized that it would not interfere with the Arbitrator's findings as it does not sit in appeal over the evidence presented.
