https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=197540 An arbitral award granting extra cartage for stone procurement was examined against an express contract clause stating that quoted rates were inclusive of all leads, regardless of source, and that quarry closure would not justify revision of rates. The court noted that Section 34(2) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act permits interference where an award departs from the contract or is patently illegal.
