https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199513 Under Section 14(2) of the Arbitration Act, 1940, the arbitrator's duty to file an award arises only at a party's request or on the court's direction; the Act does not permit a suo motu filing by the arbitrator to obtain a decree on the award. An application to file the award is subject to the limitation scheme in Article 119 of the Limitation Act, 1963, and a delayed attempt may also be barred under Article 137. A belated move to secure relief through the arbitrator after expiry of the statutory period is treated as an indirect circumvention of law and is not maintainable. en-us Tue, 09 Jan 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:06:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199513 Under Section 14(2) of the Arbitration Act, 1940, the arbitrator's duty to file an award arises only at a party's request or on the court's direction; the Act does not permit a suo motu filing by the arbitrator to obtain a decree on the award.
