Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the challenge by Ujaas Energy Ltd., a corporate debtor, against the High Court of Calcutta's order setting aside a Single Judge's decision that upheld an interim award by an Arbitral Tribunal in favor of West Bengal Power Development Corporation Ltd. The dispute arose from a public sector undertaking's e-tender for solar power projects, where the appellant was awarded a contract. The Court analyzed the validity of the interim award and the High Court's interference with arbitral proceedings. Ultimately, the Supreme Court granted leave and considered the correctness of the High Court's directions, emphasizing the limited scope of judicial intervention in arbitration matters.
