The Delhi High Court has "slammed a PSU (Public Sector Undertaking) for filing a civil suit to set aside an arbitral award that had already been upheld by the Supreme Court." The court condemned this action as an "abuse of the process of law," emphasizing the finality of arbitral awards under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. This strong rebuke reinforces the principle that parties cannot endlessly relitigate matters that have already been adjudicated and upheld by the highest court, thereby preserving the integrity and efficiency of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
