Supreme Court

Can an A&C tribunal give an award after 18 months? (2026 INSC 112)

Section 34 does not treat delay in delivering an arbitral award as an independent ground for setting it aside. The Court emphasised that arbitration must continue—even during extension proceedings—to avoid wastage of time, costs, and evidence, and that judicial intervention under Section 29A is meant to facilitate completion of the award, not to terminate the arbitral process on technical delay.
