Summary The High Court of Orissa dismissed Odisha Mining Corporation Limited's appeal challenging an MSEFC arbitration award, holding that the company has an alternate and equally efficacious remedy under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The court clarified that challenges to arbitration awards on procedural or merit grounds must be pursued through the statutory Section 34 mechanism, not through writ petitions under Articles 226-227 of the Constitution, and ruled that time spent in the writ proceedings shall be discounted under the Limitation Act when computing the limitation period for a Section 34 petition.
