Section 34 Arbitration Act | Limitation Period for Challenging Award Begins Only on Delivery of Signed Copy : MP HC

Madhya Pradesh High Court clarifies that the 90-day limitation period under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act commences only upon actual delivery of the signed arbitral award, not its pronouncement. This ruling protects parties from procedural dismissals where award copies are delayed, ensuring fair opportunity to challenge awards.
