    The High Court of Himachal Pradesh dismissed NHAI's appeal challenging a District Judge's order that rejected NHAI's Section 34 application to set aside an arbitrator's award as barred by limitation. The court held that Section 34(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 imposes a strict three-month deadline (extendable by 30 days only for sufficient cause), which cannot be further extended under Section 5 of the Limitation Act; NHAI's application filed over four months after the award was received fell beyond this non-condonable period. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
