Issues: (i) Whether the delay in filing objections under Section 30 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 ought to be condoned on the facts of the case. (ii) Whether Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 was applicable to proceedings for making the award a rule of the court.
Issue (i): Whether the delay in filing objections under Section 30 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 ought to be condoned on the facts of the case.
Analysis: The delay was a short one, and the circumstances disclosed sufficient cause to justify condonation in the interest of justice. The objections were therefore required to be examined on merits rather than shut out on limitation.
Conclusion: The delay was liable to be condoned in favour of the appellant.
Issue (ii): Whether Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 was applicable to proceedings for making the award a rule of the court.
Analysis: The proceedings before the court for making the award a rule of the court were not excluded from the operation of Section 5. The contrary view taken by the courts below was erroneous.
Conclusion: Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963 was applicable, in favour of the appellant.
Final Conclusion: The impugned orders were set aside, the objections were restored for decision on merits by the trial court, and consequential directions were issued regarding costs and interim deposit.
Ratio Decidendi: A short delay in filing objections may be condoned where sufficient cause is shown and the Limitation Act applies unless expressly excluded, so that disputes should ordinarily be decided on merits rather than defeated on technical limitation grounds.
