Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of courts to interfere with arbitral awards concerning contract interpretation, specifically in relation to the construction contract for Married accommodation at Naval Air Station, Arakkonam. The Court held that the interpretation of the contract and the arbitral award should be respected unless there is a clear violation of law or public policy, affirming the validity of the arbitral award made by Respondent No.2. The judgment emphasized the limited scope of judicial review in arbitration matters under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, particularly Sections 34 and 37.
