M/S. Ravindra & Associates vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court held that the High Court of Kerala improperly interfered with the arbitration award concerning a construction contract, violating the principle that it cannot act as a court of appeal in arbitration matters. The Court emphasized that the arbitrator's findings, particularly regarding the use of M/20 concrete at the department's insistence and the claims for overtime due to delays in supply, were not to be disturbed. The Court reinstated the arbitrator's award, affirming the decision in favor of the appellant and rejecting the High Court's ruling.
