Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963 in relation to Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, determining that the objection filed by the appellant was barred by limitation. The Court held that the clause in the contract constituted a valid arbitration agreement, reversing the High Court's decision. The judgment emphasized the necessity of timely objections to awards under the Arbitration Act, affirming the binding nature of the Superintending Engineer's decision as an executable decree.
