Headnote | Arbitration Act, 1940 - Pre-reference, pendente lite interestand future interest – Power of arbitrator to award – On facts,disputes between parties referred to arbitration with regard to pricefor supply of goods – Fixation of price by arbitrator and award ofpre-reference, pendente lite and future interest all at the rate of 18%per annum – Reduction of the interest to 10% per annum by theCivil Judge – High Court upheld the same – On appeal, held: Underthe Arbitration Act, an arbitrator has power to grant pre-referenceinterest under the Interest Act, as well as pendente lite and futureinterest – However, he is constricted only by the fact that anagreement between the parties may contain an express bar to theaward of pre-reference and/or pendente lite interest – In the instantcase, clause 16 of the General Conditions of Contract clearly barspayment of interest for any delay – There is nothing in this clausewhich refers even obliquely to the Arbitrator’s power to grantinterest – There was no delay on account of the higher price as itbecame payable only on and from the date of the award – Even ifclause 16 were to have application, both pre-reference and pendentelite interest are not barred – Only reason given for reducing interestfrom 18% to 10% being that ONGC is a Public Sector Undertaking,would not suffice to set aside what was within the Arbitrator’sdiscretion – Further, there is no finding that arbitrator exercisedthe discretion perversely – Thus, the grant of interest at the rate of18% as pre-reference, pendente lite and future interest upheld –Interest Act, 1978. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
