State Of Punjab & Anr vs Gurdev Singh

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution by making an arbitration award rule of the court, which should have been remitted to the trial court for fresh consideration. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to condone the delay in filing but set aside the part of the order that made the award rule of the court. The matter was remitted to the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Pathankot for expedited hearing and decision within three months.
