https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=416689 Section 34(4) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 permits remittal only to cure inadequate reasons or reasoning gaps where the award already contains a finding on the issue. A finding is a decision on a contentious issue; reasons are the support for that decision. Where the award omits any finding on a contentious issue, or where material evidence has been ignored so as to give rise to patent illegality, the defect cannot be cured by remittal under Section 34(4). The provision is discretionary and cannot be used to rewrite the award or allow the tribunal to take a fresh view on the merits after making the award. Remittal was therefore held impermissible on the facts. en-us Mon, 03 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 06 Jan 2022 07:11:02 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=416689 Section 34(4) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 permits remittal only to cure inadequate reasons or reasoning gaps where the award already contains a finding on the issue.
