Case Summary: ARBA/31/2021 The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed three consolidated arbitration appeals filed by Godavari Marathwada Irrigation Development Corporation against S.S. Deshmukh, a contractor. The court rejected the appellant's jurisdictional challenge, finding the Principal District Judge had proper jurisdiction since the dispute value (₹11,31,441) fell below the ₹50 lakh commercial court threshold. Crucially, the court upheld the arbitration award on limitation grounds, holding that claims were within the three-year limitation period as it commenced from the final bill payment date (01.09.1999) and notice of arbitration was issued on 19.02.2000—well within limitation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
