https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=156051 For limitation under section 34(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, an arbitral award left at a government office on a holiday is treated as received only when it reaches the officer competent to act on it on the next working day; the date of physical delivery on the holiday is not the date of receipt. "Three months" in section 34(3) means a calendar-month period, not 90 days, and is computed by the corresponding date in the third succeeding month. Applying that method, the section 34 application was filed within limitation, including the further condonable thirty-day period, so dismissal by the High Court was unsustainable and the matter had to be remitted for decision on merits. en-us Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:54:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=156051 For limitation under section 34(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, an arbitral award left at a government office on a holiday is treated as received only when it reaches the officer competent to act on it on the next working day; the date of physical delivery on the holiday is not the date of receipt.
