[Arbitration Act] Application U/S 34 Without Award Copy Or Vakalatnama Is Merely A 'Stack Of Papers' Filed To Save Limitation: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court ruled that an application under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act filed without the arbitral award and without a vakalatnama (power of attorney) is invalid. The application was filed by a party attempting to challenge an award, but the Court found that it lacked essential documents and formalities. The Court stated that such an application, being incomplete, could not be entertained and was only filed to save the limitation period. This ruling underlined the importance of following legal procedures and requirements in arbitration-related matters.
