Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of amendments to objections in arbitration proceedings under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, specifically Section 34. The Court held that objections to jurisdiction can be raised under Section 34 even if not raised under Section 16, emphasizing that the amendment sought by the respondent was unnecessary and not pressed. The judgment clarified that the legal principles established in MSP Infrastructure Ltd. v. Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation Ltd. regarding jurisdictional objections were not correctly interpreted by the High Court.
