G.D. Engineering Construction vs Union Of India (Uoi)

The Supreme Court held that an Arbitrator is not required to provide reasons for an Award unless there is a specific statutory mandate to do so. The Court found that the High Court's view, which set aside the Award on the basis of the Arbitrator's failure to provide reasons, was incorrect. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and allowed the appeal, with no order as to costs.
