https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=330549 Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 carries a strict limitation period for challenging an arbitral award, with only limited statutory extension. Section 14 of the Limitation Act, 1963 applies only where the earlier and later civil proceedings involve the same matter in issue, are pursued with due diligence and good faith, and the earlier forum could not entertain the matter for want of jurisdiction or a like cause. An application under Section 11 for appointment of an arbitrator is distinct from a Section 34 objection to an award, as they arise at different stages and concern different issues. Section 14 was therefore not attracted, and the delay in filing the Section 34 objection could not be excluded. en-us Tue, 19 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 17:34:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=330549 Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 carries a strict limitation period for challenging an arbitral award, with only limited statutory extension.
