Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 14(2) of the Arbitration Act, 1940, the notice of the award must be served to the parties, and failure to respond within the stipulated time frame results in the dismissal of objections. The Court emphasized that the appellant's objections were filed beyond the 30-day limit from the notice publication date, leading to the dismissal of the objections without merit consideration. The Court upheld the lower courts' decisions, affirming the validity of the arbitration award in favor of the respondent.
