M/S N.V. International vs The State Of Assam

The Supreme Court held that appeals under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 must be filed within 120 days, including a grace period of 30 days under Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The Court emphasized that allowing delays beyond this period would undermine the statutory purpose of expeditious arbitration. The appeal was dismissed as the delay of 189 days was not condoned, affirming the lower court's decision.
