Bharat Coking Coal Ltd vs M/S. Annapurna Construction

The Supreme Court addressed the appropriate court for filing an award under the Arbitration Act, 1940, emphasizing that 'Court' refers to a Civil Court with jurisdiction over the subject matter as per Section 2(c) of the Act. The Court held that the arbitration award, which had been contested, required reconsideration due to misdirection by the arbitrator in interpreting the contract. Consequently, the disputes related to specific claim items were referred to a retired High Court judge for expedited resolution.
