SHYAM SUNDAR AGARWAL & CO. vs U.O.I.

The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of a revision petition under Rule 36A of the Rules for the Administration of Justice and Police in the Khasi and Janitia Hills, 1937, in light of Section 39 of the Arbitration Act. The Court held that a second appeal from an appellate judgment under Section 39 is expressly barred, thus affirming the Division Bench's ruling of the Gauhati High Court. The judgment clarified that the earlier decision in Union of India Vs. D.S. Narula & Co. was not applicable in this context, establishing that no revision lies against the appellate judgment under the Arbitration Act.
