Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an arbitral award set aside by the High Court due to the Arbitrator's failure to record 'findings' as mandated by Clause 70 of the General Conditions of Contract. The Court clarified that 'findings' must include reasons for conclusions, thus establishing that an award lacking such reasoning is unsustainable. The appeal was referred to a larger bench to resolve conflicting interpretations of prior judgments regarding the requirements for arbitral awards.
