Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the arbitration award under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, specifically referencing Section 34, which allows for setting aside an arbitral award. The Court found that the Guwahati High Court erred in setting aside the award, affirming that the arbitrator had acted within his jurisdiction and that the award was not vitiated by any legal infirmity. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, reinstating the arbitrator's award in favor of the appellant.
