O.P. Pathrose vs State Of Kerala & Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Kerala High Court erred in setting aside the arbitration award under Section 30 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, which had allowed certain claims of the appellant. The Court emphasized that the unreasonableness of an award is not a valid ground for interference unless it is absurd or preposterous. The Supreme Court reinstated the Arbitrator's decision, affirming the validity of the claims allowed and underscoring the limited scope of judicial review in arbitration matters.
