ADDITIONAL REGISTRAR (JUDICIAL)
Summary The Gujarat High Court dismissed FCI's appeal challenging an arbitrator's award of Rs. 13,65,352.52 as dispatch money to contractor B.M. Samani. The court held that the arbitrator, having interpreted the contract reasonably within its scope—particularly regarding equity in burden-sharing of demurrage and dispatch money—did not exceed jurisdiction, and courts cannot re-examine an arbitrator's plausible interpretation of contractual terms or substitute their own view. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
