State Of Goa vs M/S. Western Builders on 5 July, 2006
14. We may notice that in similar circumstances the
Division Bench of this Court in State of Goa vs. Western
Builders 2006 (6) SCC 239 has taken a similar view. As
observed earlier the intention of the legislature in enacting
Section 14 of the Act is to give relief to a litigant who had
approached the wrong forum. No canon of construction of a
statute is more firmly established than this that the purpose of
interpretation is to give effect to the intention underlying the
statute. The interpretation of Section 14 has to be liberal.
The language of beneficial provision contained in Section 14 of
the Limitation Act must be construed liberally so as to
suppress the mischief and advance its object. Therefore, it is
held that the provisions of Section 14 of the Limitation Act are
applicable to an application submitted under Section 34 of the
Act of 1996 for setting aside an arbitral award.
