Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning an arbitration award under the Arbitration Act, 1940, specifically Section 30(1) regarding objections to the award. The Court upheld the lower court's decree, confirming the award amount of Rs. 6,68,058.16 with interest at 12% per annum from the date of the award, clarifying that the Chief Engineer's decision in the contract did not constitute an arbitration clause as per previous rulings. The Court dismissed the State's objections, affirming the validity of the arbitration proceedings and the awarded interest.
