Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) challenging the High Court's order that upheld the Arbitral Award in favor of Transstroy (India) Limited. The court found that the NHAI's claims regarding the breach of contract and the counterclaim were adequately addressed by the Arbitral Tribunal, which acted within its jurisdiction. The judgment reinforces the finality of arbitral awards and the limited grounds for interference under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
