Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether an Arbitration Award determining compensation for land can be executed as a suit for specific performance of an agreement. The court clarified that since the arbitration was solely for fixing the price of the land, the award cannot be enforced as a specific performance suit. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the limitations of the arbitration process in this context.
