M/S MARKFED VANASPATHI & ALLIED INDUSTRY vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court regarding the enforcement of an arbitration award under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court found that the appellant's claim of force majeure due to a government ban on rapeseed oil was without merit, as the ban did not restrict the manufacture of rapeseed oil itself. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal, thereby upholding the non-speaking award made by the arbitrator and the subsequent ruling of the learned Single Judge.
