Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's decision to set aside an arbitral award under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The case involved a contractual dispute related to a highway construction project funded by a World Bank loan. The Court analyzed whether the High Court correctly intervened in the arbitral process and upheld the principles of arbitration law. Ultimately, the Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the arbitral award and the High Court's decision.
