    Order on Exhibit

    The District Judge rejected National Highways' application seeking condonation of delay in filing to set aside an arbitral award under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996. The court found that National Highways understated the actual delay (2 months 13 days instead of claimed 28 days) and provided insufficient reasons, with no documentary evidence supporting claims about obtaining documents and sanctions. The court emphasized that speedy dispute resolution is the Arbitration Act's core objective and public authorities cannot be given special treatment for dilatory conduct.
