Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the arbitration awards related to two construction contracts, emphasizing the importance of timely filing objections under Article 119 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court upheld the Civil Judge's decision regarding the admissibility of objections in Title Suit No. 37/86 while rejecting those in Title Suit No. 40/86 due to a delay beyond the limitation period. The Court affirmed the decrees passed in terms of the arbitration awards, thereby reinforcing the binding nature of arbitration decisions.
