Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the arbitration award under Sections 30 and 33 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, affirming that the arbitrator's decision was well-reasoned and free from legal infirmities. The Court emphasized that the factual findings of the arbitrator could not be challenged under the Act, and the High Court's reversal of the award was unjustified. The Court reinstated the award, confirming the contractor's entitlement to Rs.12,05,132.48 with interest, while rejecting the respondent's counterclaims.
