Dear sir,
In an arbitratration award the sole arbitrator gave all the details of the facts and documents submitted by the claimant and respondent thereafter he gave his findings, conclusion and then award. Now the award is challenged u/s 34 in the district court. Apart from the grounds mentioned in sec. 34 the award is also challenged on the ground of giving no reason for the findings and the award.
So my question is
1.can the award be set aside on the basis of giving no reason of the award?
2. do the findings and conclusion given in the award not form the reason on which the award was given?
3. Is there any ruling of the Supreme Court or high court on the new act of 1996 in which the higher courts have either made it mandatory or not to include reason of the award and a ground for setting aside or not setting aside the arbitral award on the basis of giving no reason.
Regards.....
