https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=404809 Under Section 34(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, limitation to challenge an arbitral award begins only on receipt of the signed copy of the award under Section 31(5), because the award attains legal effect and finality only when signed and delivered. In a tribunal with multiple arbitrators, a majority decision is the award, while any dissent remains only an opinion and does not alter the operative date. Circulation of a draft or majority decision does not start time for a setting-aside petition. On the stated facts, the signed award was received on 19.05.2018, so the objections filed thereafter were within time and the finding of delay was unsustainable. en-us Tue, 02 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 23 May 2022 12:26:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=404809 Under Section 34(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, limitation to challenge an arbitral award begins only on receipt of the signed copy of the award under Section 31(5), because the award attains legal effect and finality only when signed and delivered.
