WEST BENGAL STATEWAREHOUSING CORPN. vs M/S. INDRAPURI STUDIO PVT. LTD.

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who claimed to be a 'person interested' under Section 2(d) of the West Bengal Premises Requisition and Control Act, 1947, was not entitled to appeal against the Arbitrator's award under Section 11(1)(f) as it did not have a direct interest in the compensation payable to the original property owner. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the appellant's claim to challenge the award was unfounded, as the definition of 'person interested' does not extend to those who may be indirectly affected by the award. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the award of compensation determined by the Arbitrator.
