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 31and 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 is
decision would be perverse and liable to be set
aside on the ground of patent illegality.
