Findings Of Arbitrator U/S 34 Of Arbitration Act Cannot Be Scrutinised As If Court Is Sitting In Appeal: Chhattisgarh High Court

The Chhattisgarh High Court held that the findings of an arbitrator under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act cannot be scrutinized, as the court’s role is limited to sitting in appeal. The case involved an attempt to challenge the findings of an arbitrator under the Arbitration Act, where the court ruled that it does not have the authority to re-evaluate the arbitrator’s findings unless there are grounds for setting aside the award under limited circumstances. This ruling emphasizes the finality of arbitral decisions and the limited scope of judicial review, reinforcing the principle of autonomy and efficiency in arbitration.
