Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of what constitutes reasonable notice by an arbitrator in the context of arbitration proceedings. The Court upheld the decision of the Calcutta High Court which had set aside an arbitration award due to the lack of proper notice to the parties involved. The judgment emphasized the necessity for arbitrators to provide adequate notice to ensure fair proceedings, thereby reinforcing the principles of natural justice in arbitration under the Arbitration Act.
