M/S. Kwality Manufacturing ... vs Central Warehousing Corporation

The Supreme Court upheld the arbitration award under the Arbitration Act, 1940, affirming that the arbitrator's decision was well-reasoned and did not suffer from any legal infirmities as per Sections 30 and 33 of the Act. The Court emphasized that the factual findings of the arbitrator could not be challenged, and the High Court's reversal of the award was unwarranted. Consequently, the Court reinstated the arbitrator's award in favor of the contractor, affirming the amount awarded for the supply of bamboo mats and the refund of earnest money.
