Union Of India (Uoi) vs Shring Construction Company Private ...

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's application under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for setting aside an arbitral award due to it being filed beyond the prescribed limitation period. The Court clarified that while Section 5 of the Limitation Act does not apply, Section 14 is not excluded, but the appellant failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for the delay. Consequently, the Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, emphasizing the importance of adhering to statutory timelines in arbitration matters.
