DELHI AIRPORT METRO EXPRESS PVT. LTD. vs DELHI METRO RAIL CORPORATION LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the Delhi High Court was justified in interfering with an arbitral award favoring Delhi Airport Metro Express Pvt. Ltd. under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court emphasized the limited grounds for judicial intervention in arbitral awards and upheld the arbitral tribunal's decision, reinforcing the sanctity of arbitration in public-private partnerships.
