Ssangyong Engineering And ... vs National Highways Authority Of ... on 8 May, 2019

In Ssangyong Engineering and Construction Company Limited v. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), (2019) 15 SCC 131, the Supreme Court has clarified the limited extent of jurisdiction that this Court exercises in interfering with an Arbitral Award. It has inter alia held that the interpretation of the contractual term is the domain of the Arbitral Tribunal. The Court would not interfere with an Arbitral Award merely because it finds the interpretation placed by the Arbitral Tribunal to be incorrect. Difference has to be appreciated between a case where the Arbitral Tribunal acts contrary to the contractual terms and a case where the Arbitral Tribunal interprets the contractual terms, though in a manner which may be found by the Court to be such with which it may not concur. Mere error in interpretation of the Agreement will not entitle the Court to interfere with an Arbitral Award, unless such interpretation is found to be completely perverse. Applying the above test to the facts of the present case, the learned Arbitral Tribunal has interpreted various terms of the Agreement to find that it was the duty of the petitioner to obtain the necessary permissions, including permission from OFDC. Merely because the said permission was withdrawn Signature Not Verified and had to be applied afresh, the petitioner did not get Digitally Signed By:SUNIL Signing Date:12.05.2023 21:41:35 OMP (COMM) Nos.110/2018 & 111/2018 Page 10 of 45 Neutral Citation Number: 2023:DHC:3032 relieved of its obligation and, therefore, had to bear the expenses for obtaining the fresh NOC. I find no fault in the said interpretation to the terms of the Agreement and as applied to the facts of the case. In any case, the same cannot give a ground to the petitioner to challenge the finding of the learned Arbitral Tribunal on this account.
