Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against the High Court's modification of a decree under the Arbitration Act, 1940. The Court upheld the award of Rs. 10,17,461/- to the respondent-contractor, affirming the interest rates specified in the arbitration award. However, it clarified that the claim for Rs. 12.50 lakhs, which was not adjudicated by the arbitrator, could not be included in the decree, thus limiting the contractor's recovery to the awarded amount only.
