The jurisdiction of the Court under Section 34 of the Act is neither in the nature of an appellate remedy or akin to the power of revision – Center for Research Planning and Action Vs. National Medicinal Plants Board Ministry of Ayush Government of India – Delhi High Court
A plain reading of Section 34 reveals that the scope of interference by the Court with the arbitral award under Section 34 is very limited, and the Court is not supposed to travel beyond the aforesaid scope to determine whether the award is good or bad. Even an award that may not be reasonable or is non-speaking to some extent cannot ordinarily be interfered with by the Courts. It is also well settled that even if two views are possible, there is no scope for the Court to reappraise the evidence and take a different view from that taken by the arbitrator.
