18. The learned Senior Counsel would further contend
that the appellant's reliance on the judgment in Ssangyong Engineering
& Construction Co. Ltd., vs. NHAI is misconceived. In the said case, the
Apex Court exercised its power under Article 142 to mould the relief,
however, the said power is prerogative and exclusively available only to
the Apex Court and the High Courts exercising appellate jurisdiction
under Section 37 have no such power. The appellant's argument that the
awards in Sivagangai and Ramanathapuram contracts contain similar
wording is equally untenable. Further, the appellant has not produced
before this Court a complete set of documents and exhibits which were
placed before the Arbitral Tribunal and which were formed the very
basis of the impugned award. Such approach renders the appeals
unsustainable. It is also submitted that though the appellant raised the
plea of limitation in these appeals, neither in the pleadings nor during

oral arguments, such plea was taken. The appellant has not identified
the date of accrual of cause of action, the relevant contractual milestones
or the corresponding limitation period. A mere bald assertion that the
claims are time barred, without pleading the necessary particulars or
demonstrating any factual matrix is untenable in law.

15. He would further submit that the appellant relied on
the dissenting opinion of the expert contending that it represents a more
reasoned and persuasive view of the arbitral record. However, such
reliance is misconceived. The Apex Court in Hindustan Construction Co.
Ltd., vs. NHAI (2024) 2 SCC 613 : (2024) 1 SCC (Civ) 708, has held that a
dissenting opinion cannot be treated as award even if the majority

award is set aside. He would further submit that though the appellant
challenged the arbitral award on routine factual and contractual grounds
namely, alleged delay in adjudication, variations between adjudication
and arbitral claims, attribution of delay to the respondent, insufficiency
of documentary evidence, irrational methodology, non-levy of LD / No
financial commitment, estoppel by acceptance of final bill and use of cost
index method, none of those grounds fall within the statutory
parameters of Section 34. They relate purely to findings of fact and
contractual interpretation which are within the exclusive domain of the
arbitral Tribunal. The Court below has rightly appreciated the narrow
limits of interference under Section 34 and dismissed the petition as the
grounds raised by the appellant would tantamount to reviewing the case
on merits. He would also contend that the appellant having participated
in the appointment of the arbitrator through the institution of Engineers
is deemed to have waived any procedural objections.
