Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appeal under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, confirming the arbitral award in favor of the respondents. The Court emphasized that the arbitral tribunal's findings on the contractual dispute regarding the consultancy agreement were well-founded and supported by evidence. The judgment reinforces the principle that courts should exercise restraint in interfering with arbitral awards unless there are grounds under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act.
