Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. & Ors. Vs. Harpreet Singh Sabharwal & Anr.
OMP(M) No. 209/2025
27.11.2025 Present: Mr. Neeraj Gupta, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Nitin Thakur, Advocate, for the applicants.
This application seeks condonation of delay of 25 days in filing the objections under Section 34(3) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (in short ‘the Act’).
Learned counsel on both sides are ad idem that in view of law laid down in Civil Appeal No.10970 of 2025 (Geojit Financial Services Ltd. Versus Sandeep Gurav), decided on 19.08.2025, the period of limitation for filing an application under Section 34(3) of the Act, where an application under Section 33 has been made, will commence from the date of disposal of such application, regardless of whether the application under Section 33 resulted in a correction, interpretation or additional award. In the instant case, the application under Section 33 had been made, which was decided on 12.03.2025. Admittedly, the objection petition has been preferred within the limitation period w.e.f. 12.03.2025.
In view of above, the application is disposed of as the main petition has been filed within the time limit in terms of the decision in Geojit Financial Services Ltd., supra.
The application stands disposed of.
