M/S RAVINDRA KUMAR GUPTA & CO. vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction by re-evaluating evidence and substituting its conclusions for those of the arbitrator, thus violating the principles laid down under Section 30 of the Indian Arbitration Act, 1940. The Court affirmed that the arbitrator acted within his jurisdiction and did not misconduct himself in law or procedure, thereby upholding the award made by the arbitrator. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, reinforcing the sanctity of arbitration awards.
