NEW DELHI: With high commercial value disputes getting regularly referred to arbitration in India, the Supreme Court has decided to sort out prevailing confusion over what is the limitation period for filing of appeal against arbitral award - 90 days or 120 days.
But, the attempt to clear the confusion saw parallel proceedings in the Supreme Court as two coordinate benches took up the matter and passed orders. The confusion over the limitation period for filing appeal against arbitral awards arose from judgements of the SC, one holding that it was 90 days while others stating that it was extendable to 120 days.
