M/S GEO MILLER & CO.PVT.LTD. vs CHAIRMAN, RAJASTHAN VIDYUT UTPADAN NIGAM LTD. — C.A. No. 967/2010

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed Geo Miller & Co.'s appeals, affirming that their arbitration applications were barred by limitation. The Court held that the cause of action arose when final bills were submitted in 1983, giving a three-year limitation period under the Limitation Act, 1963. Since arbitration was sought only in 2002—nearly two decades later—the claims were time-barred. The Court rejected arguments that ongoing negotiations postponed the limitation period, finding the appellant failed to provide evidence of bona fide settlement efforts and that mere correspondence cannot extend statutory limitation periods.
