Case Law Analysis
|Delhi High Court
Section 34 limitation period starts from disposal of Section 33 application, even if sham | Arbitration Act : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court held that the three-month limitation for filing a Section 34 petition only begins when a Section 33 application is finally disposed, even if the application is a sham. Consequently, parties can file Section 34 petitions later than previously thought, and courts may award punitive costs against frivolous Section 33 filings.
