Mahadev Amrut Mane vs M/s. IndusInd Bank Limited Solapur Through Its Legal Exe. Shridhar S. Rahul Advocate - Raool Shridhar Sambmurti — 181/2025

The Principal District Judge, Solapur allowed the applicants' plea to condone a 4-year, 3-month delay in filing an application against an arbitral award dated April 12, 2021. The court found that the applicants were genuinely unaware of the arbitration proceedings because notice was never properly served—postal notices addressed to the applicants were marked "address incomplete" and returned. The arbitration proceeded ex parte without any alternative service method (such as newspaper publication) being attempted. The court held that the cause of delay (lack of notice) rather than its duration justified condonation, entitling the applicants to challenge the award under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
