STATE OF PUNJAB 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 is not within its powers. The Court set aside the High Court's order to that extent and remitted the matter back to the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Pathankot for fresh consideration of the objections. The Court emphasized the need for expedited proceedings due to the age of the award, which dates back to 1995.
