Section 36 Arbitration Act | Limitation for Execution Runs From 2015 Amendment, Not Award Date, As Pre-Amendment Law Foreclosed Execution : Calcutta HC
Limitation for executing a 2008 arbitral award runs from 23 October 2015, when amended Section 36 made awards immediately enforceable, not the award date. Pre-amendment law required the Section 34 challenge period to expire first, blocking execution for seven years per National Aluminium. The ruling shields award holders from statutory gaps that delayed enforcement.
