Associate Builders vs Delhi Development Authority on 25 November, 2014
41. What is important to note is that a decision which is perverse, as
understood in paras 31 and 32 of Associate Builders [Associate Builders v.
DDA, (2015) 3 SCC 49 : (2015) 2 SCC (Civ) 204] , while no longer being a
ground for challenge under "public policy of India", would certainly
amount to a patent illegality appearing on the face of the award. Thus, a
finding based on no evidence at all or an award which ignores vital
evidence in arriving at its decision would be perverse and liable to be set
aside on the ground of patent illegality.
