https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=758366 Section 29A of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act permits an application to extend time for making an arbitral award even after expiry of the twelve-month period or the extended six-month period. The Court held that the phrase allowing extension either before or after expiry must be read in context and as a whole, so no implied bar can be imposed on post-expiry applications. A restrictive reading would add words to the statute and frustrate the object of efficient arbitration. The application is therefore maintainable after expiry, and the court may determine it on sufficient cause. en-us Thu, 12 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 12 Sep 2024 18:51:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=758366 Section 29A of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act permits an application to extend time for making an arbitral award even after expiry of the twelve-month period or the extended six-month period.
