Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing the respondent to produce evidence under Sections 30 and 33 of the Arbitration Act, 1940, while clarifying that the court does not re-evaluate the arbitrator's award. The Court emphasized that the examination of the arbitrator was unnecessary due to the passage of time since the award was made, and that the evidence must be relevant to the objections raised under the specified sections. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's modification of the lower court's order.
