    The High Court of Bombay at Aurangabad allowed NHAI's appeal against the District Judge's rejection of delay condonation for filing a Section 34 application under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. The court found the District Judge was mistaken in calculating a five-month delay, when the application was actually filed within 120 days (with only 24 days' actual delay beyond statutory requirement), thus deserving condonation. The matter was remitted to the District Court to decide the Section 34 application on merits within three months. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
