Section 34 & 37 A&C Act | Judicial Review Limited to Patent Illegality; Limitation Commences Only on Clear Refusal of Performance : Karnataka HC

The Karnataka High Court reaffirmed that courts cannot re-appreciate evidence or substitute their views when reviewing arbitral awards under Sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. The judgment clarifies that limitation for challenging an award begins only upon a clear refusal of performance, reinforcing the narrow scope of judicial intervention in arbitration matters.
