FAO No.4292 of 2009 1 In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. Decided on 06.8.2010. Jaswant Singh --Appellant vs. The Punjab State and another -- Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.G.S.Sandhu,Advocate,for the appellant Rakesh Kumar Jain, J, This appeal is directed against the order of learned District Judge, Faridkot, dated 25.3.2009, by which objection filed by the appellant under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (for short, the Act) against the arbitral award dated 11.5.2006, has been dismissed. The learned Court below while dismissing the objection observed as under:- “I find that the learned Arbitrator had adjudicated upon each point/claim in view of the evidence/documents produced before it and had given detailed reasoning for coming to the conclusion. The impugned award is legal, speaking based on evidence and strictly in accordance with law and the terms of FAO No.4292 of 2009 2 the agreement executed between the parties and therefore,the same cannot be set aside. This Court can not sit as a Court of appeal over a reasoned and legal arbitral award. Thus, I hold that the impugned award does not suffer from any illegality on the face of it and this Court being not a fact finding Court, the findings recorded by the learned Arbitrator, cannot be interfered into by this Court qua the appreciation of evidence and its merits. So, I do not see any ground to set aside the award dated 11.5.2006 passed by the Arbitrator, respondent No.2 Er. R.K.Chowdhary”. Aggrieved against the aforesaid award, the present appeal has been filed by the appellant, but no substantial argument has been raised by the learned counsel for the appellant in order to pursuade this Court to take a view different from the one taken by the Court below. Hence, I do not find any merit in this appeal and as such, the same is hereby dismissed but without any order as to costs. 06.8.2010 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
