Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the enforceability of a Letter of Comfort issued during conciliation under Section 74, 30, and 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court held that the Letter of Comfort, being part of the Memorandum of Conciliation, is enforceable as it stipulates compensation for failure to complete work, thus qualifying as a decision under the Act. The High Court's dismissal of the execution petition was overturned, affirming the enforceability of the conciliators' decision.
