Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of courts to interfere with arbitral awards concerning contract interpretation, emphasizing that such interference is limited. The Court held that the High Court's decision to uphold the arbitral award was justified, as the interpretation of the contract was within the arbitral tribunal's purview. The judgment reaffirmed the principle that courts should respect the finality of arbitral awards unless there are grounds for intervention under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
