    Case Summary: 377/2022 Court Decision: The court dismissed the petitioners' application challenging an arbitral award dated 29-07-2021 issued by the District Magistrate (arbitrator) in a land acquisition dispute. The court found the application barred by limitation under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, and held that the arbitrator did not commit manifest procedural errors warranting setting aside the award. Key Reasoning: The court emphasized that Section 34 applications must be filed within three months of receiving the award, and extensions are restricted. The arbitrator's award regarding compensation for land (Plot No. 230, Alghadpur) acquired for the Lucknow-Varanasi National Highway project was considered valid. The court referenced Supreme Court precedents clarifying that challenges under Section 34 require demonstrating fundamental violations of procedure, Indian law's basic policy, or morality—mere disagreement with factual findings is insufficient grounds for setting aside arbitral awards.
