M/S P.R. CATERING CO. vs OIL AND NATURAL GAS CORPN. LTD. .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the arbitrator granting the appellants, M/s. P.R. Catering Company, their claimed dues along with interest, emphasizing that the grounds for setting aside an arbitration award under Section 30 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 are limited. The Court found that the arbitrator's award was reasoned and did not exhibit misconduct or invalidity as alleged by the ONGC. Consequently, the Court affirmed the lower court's ruling that the award should be made a rule of the court, thereby dismissing the ONGC's appeal.
