Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the arbitration award under the Arbitration Act, 1940, specifically Sections 14, 15, 16, 30, and 33, affirming the sole arbitrator's decision to award Rs. 18,97,729.37 with interest to the respondent. The Court found that the appellant's objections regarding the arbitrator's jurisdiction and the admissibility of claims were without merit. The High Court's dismissal of the appeal against the trial court's ruling was confirmed, thereby enforcing the arbitration award as a rule of court.
