Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to condone the delay in filing arbitration petitions under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The court emphasized the importance of ensuring that disputes are resolved on their merits rather than being dismissed on procedural grounds. The judgment reinforces the principle that delays in arbitration matters can be excused if justified, thereby promoting access to justice.
