aforementioned judgments, the Hon'ble Supreme Court had culled out the
ratio decidendi by holding that until and unless there is error apparent on the
face of record or the arbitrator has not followed statutory legal position, it is
only in these circumstances, it would be justified interfering with the award.
The High Court should not act as a Court of appeal and reappraise the
material/evidence and embark on a path by substituting its own view in
support of the Arbitrator's view. It is not the case of the appellant that the
award is against the public policy or has violated the principles of judicial
approach, much less against the statute and other provisions of Section 34 of
the Act. The Arbitrator has dealt with the dispute, which was contemplated
and was within its scope. The parties to the lis had participated in the
proceedings and were given proper notice not only with regard to the
appointment of the Arbitrator but vis-a-vis proceedings. In my view, the
award of the Arbitrator does not suffer from any illegality in as much as the
Arbitrator, who is expert, has dealt with the matter and decided the claims of
respective parties to the lis.
