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 within the stipulated time frame, and failure to do so results in the dismissal of objections to the award. The Court emphasized that the appellant's objections were filed beyond the 30-day limit from the notice publication date, thus upholding the lower court's decision. The ruling clarifies the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in arbitration matters.
