Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the limitation period for filing objections to an arbitration award under Article 119(b) of the Limitation Act, emphasizing that the 30-day period commences only upon proper notice of the award's filing being given to the parties. The Court clarified that mere knowledge of the award does not suffice to trigger the limitation period. The objections filed by the appellant were deemed timely as no notice of filing was provided, thus allowing the challenge to the award to proceed.
