Section 34 Arbitration Act | Non-Speaking Award Upheld If Arbitrator Demonstrates Plausible Reasoning : Calcutta HC
Calcutta High Court reinforces the limited scope of judicial review under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, holding that an arbitral award need not be exhaustive in reasoning if it shows a plausible application of mind to evidence and contractual terms. The ruling underscores that courts cannot substitute their judgment for that of the arbitrator, provided the award is not perverse or patently illegal.
