Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of post-award interest in arbitration cases, specifically whether a decree directing interest from the date of the award until the date of the decree is executable. The Court held that since the original arbitration award did not grant post-award interest, the decree providing for such interest was a nullity and thus not executable under Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Consequently, the appeal challenging the Division Bench's decision was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
