GULBARGA UNIVERSITY vs MALLIKARJUN S. KODAGALI

The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963 in the context of Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, determining that the objection raised by the appellant was barred by limitation. The Court held that the clause in the contract constituted an arbitration agreement, reversing the High Court's decision which had previously dismissed the objection. The judgment emphasized the importance of timely filing objections in arbitration proceedings, particularly in light of the precedent set in Mallikarjun v. Gulbarga University [(2004) 1 SCC 372].
