N.R. Constructions Pvt. Ltd vs Sri Ram Badan Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Order XXI Rules 18 and 19 of the Code of Civil Procedure in the context of adjusting a cross-award. The Court held that these provisions are relevant for the adjustment of awards in execution proceedings, emphasizing the need for clarity on whether earlier awards merge into a final award. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the earlier award was not enforceable as an arbitral award under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, specifically Section 34.
