[2025:RJ-JP:44958-DB] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR D.B. Civil Miscellaneous Appeal No. 683/2023 The Executive Engineer, Public Works Department, Todabheem, Tehsil Todabheem, District Karauli. ----Appellant Versus M/s Murari Lal Contractor, S/o Shri Jagdish Prasad, R/o Kusai, Post Raipur, Tehsil Gangapur City, District Sawaimadhopur. ----Respondent For Appellant(s) : Mr. Vigyan Shah, AAG assisted by Ms. Tanvisha Pant HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE MR. SANJEEV PRAKASH SHARMA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BALJINDER SINGH SANDHU Order 10/11/2025 1. Heard. 2. This is an appeal preferred to challenge the order passed by the Commercial Court, Alwar dated 05.07.2022, whereby it rejected the objections raised belatedly under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (for short ‘the Act of 1996’). After the rejection of the objections on the ground of limitation, the present appeal has been preferred after a delay of 137 days, which reflects the casual approach of the State Authorities in dealing with the cases. 3. The order passed by the Commercial Court is strictly in terms of Section 34(3) of the Act of 1996 and considering the law laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Union of India Vs. Popular Construction Co., reported in (2001) 8 SCC 470, therefore, we find that the order even on merits was not required to be interfered with. [2025:RJ-JP:44958-DB] (2 of 2) [CMA-683/2023] 4. The appeal is dismissed both, on the ground of limitation as well as on merits. Pending applications, if any, shall also stand disposed of.
