However, limitation starts only when a signed copy of the award is properly delivered to the party under Section 31(5). Indirect knowledge or defective service does not trigger the period. Where proper delivery is not proved, objections cannot be treated as time-barred and must be heard on merits. en-us Wed, 18 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 14:19:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279516 Section 34(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 imposes an absolute limit for challenging an arbitral award: objections must be filed within three months of delivery, with a maximum further period of thirty days that cannot be extended through Section 5 of the Limitation Act.
