Yogambal Boyee Ammani Ammal vs Naina Pilai Markayar on 22 July, 1909
"The Award is reasoned one. The objections which have been raised against the Award are such that they cannot indeed be taken into consideration within the limited ambit of challenge admissible under the scheme of the Arbitration Act. Under the law, the Arbitrator is made the final arbiter of the dispute between the parties. The Award is not open to challenge on the ground that the Arbitrator has reached a wrong conclusion or has failed to appreciate facts. Strong reliance was placed by the appellant's learned Counsel on an old Madras decision in Yogambal Boyee Ammani Animal v. Naina Pillai Markayar, (1909) ILR 33 Mad. 15. In our view, on the facts of this case challenge to the Award is not permissible by taking the stand that the Arbitrator acted contrary to the provisions of
Section 70 of the Contract Act. In these premises the objections filed to the Award has to be rejected. We direct the Award to be made a rule of the Court."
