13. Ld. Senior Advocate Sh. Parag Tripathi on behalf of the Respondent-Airport Authority of India has taken an objection to challenge to the Award, on the ground of unilateral appointment of the Sole Arbitrator, on the premise that this objection had not been taken at any stage of Arbitral proceedings including in the unamended Petition under Section 34 of the Act, 1996. Taking this objection at this belated stage, is not merited as Section 34(3) of the Act, 1996 clearly limits the grounds of challenge to those taken in the Petition filed under Section 34 of the Act, 1996 filed within the specified timeframe, which is absolute.
