J.G. ENGINEER'S PVT. LTD. vs CALCUTTA IMPROVEMENT TRUST

The case concerns a challenge against a Division Bench order that set aside an arbitral award granted to a contractor for wrongful termination of a contract by the Calcutta Improvement Trust. The primary legal issues involve whether the question of wrongful termination constituted an 'excepted matter' that was non-arbitrable under the contract terms and whether the arbitrator failed to exercise jurisdiction by ignoring a counterclaim. The Supreme Court was tasked with reviewing the correctness of the High Court's decision to invalidate the award based on these jurisdictional grounds.
