Furthermore, the reasonableness of the arbitrator's reasons cannot be challenged. The arbitrator's appraisement of the evidence is never a matter for the court to entertain.

Bijendra Nath Srivastava vs Mayank Srivastava on 10 August, 1994

12. This Court, in Bijendra Nath Srivastava v. Mayank Srivastava and Ors. in para 20 at page 133 and para 31 at page 138, observed that the arbitrator is under no obligation to give reasons in support of the decision reached by him, unless the arbitration agreement or deed of settlement so required. If the arbitrator or umpire chooses to give reasons in support of his decision, then it would be open to the court to set aside the award upon finding an error of law. The reasonableness of the reasons given by the arbitrator cannot, however, be challenged. It is not open to the court to look for the reasons and proceed to examine whether they were right or erroneous. The arbitrator is the sole judge of the quality as well as the quantity of the evidence. It will not be for the court to take upon itself the task of being a judge of the evidence before the arbitrator. The Court should approach an award with a desire to support it, if that is reasonably possible, rather than to destroy it by calling it illegal.
