Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order directing the Trial Court to implement the Arbitrator's award, rejecting the State's objections under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice must be adhered to in arbitration proceedings and that the State's delay in filing objections was not justified. The appeal by the State of Madhya Pradesh was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to set aside the Trial Court's earlier order rejecting the Arbitrator's report.
