Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 39 of the Arbitration Act, no second appeal lies against a decision made by a Single Judge under Section 39(1). The Court emphasized that the provisions of Section 39 are intended to restrict the right of appeal, and since the order revoking the authority of the Chief Engineer was not covered by the specified clauses in Section 39, the appeal was not maintainable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
