Rajwant Singh vs Avtar Singh on 20 January, 2012

20. However, from the perusal of the judgments Vishanji Dungarmal Futnani's case (supra), and Sowaran Singh's case (supra), in both these authorities it has been laid down that Arbitrator themselves cannot enlarge the time for making Award. The proviso 2 of Section 28 of the Act clearly shows that Arbitrator has no jurisdiction to extend the period of Award except with the consent of the parties. However, the trial Court has not taken into account clause (1) of Section 28 of the Act vide which the Court has been empowered to enlarge the time even after making the Award. The parliament in its wisdom has enacted the Arbitration Act, 1940 and thereafter Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 to provide speedy remedy to the parties to settle their commercial disputes. The Civil Courts are over burdened due to heavy dockets on that account. The Civil cases could not be decided at an early date. There can be number of reasons Civil Revision No.3665 of 2003 8 for late disposal of civil cases. So, keeping in view that objective in the mind, the above said Arbitration Act were enacted. Once the parties have chosen that their disputes should be decided by the Arbitrator, in that case, the Court should put least restraint in deciding the matter by putting hurdle except where the Arbitrator has misconducted or there are reason prescribed for setting aside the Award within the frame work of those acts.
