https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=307345 Section 7B of the Indian Telegraph Act requires disputes over telegraph bills to be decided by an arbitrator appointed in the statutory manner by the Central Government, and an appointment made otherwise is jurisdictionally invalid. The provision also contemplates a reasoned award, because the determination is final between the parties and is subject only to limited judicial review; a non-speaking award does not satisfy that requirement and cannot be sustained. The impugned award was therefore set aside and the dispute remitted for fresh adjudication under the statutory scheme. en-us Tue, 29 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 07 Apr 2023 08:40:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=307345 Section 7B of the Indian Telegraph Act requires disputes over telegraph bills to be decided by an arbitrator appointed in the statutory manner by the Central Government, and an appointment made otherwise is jurisdictionally invalid.
