Per, Shree Chandrashekhar, CJ :
The Arenel (Private) Limited which made a claim before the
Arbitrator for refund of USD 165,102.10 with interest, costs etc. is
aggrieved by the judgment dated 8 th September 2025 rendered in
the Commercial Arbitration Petition No.349 of 2020 filed by M/s
Aakash Packaging under section 34 of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1996. By this judgment, the Award made on
2nd December 2019 in favor of the claimant-company has been set
aside by the learned Single Judge of this Court. The claimant-

company seeks to challenge the said judgment on the ground that
the findings of fact recorded by the Arbitrator are not open to
challenge and the materials laid before the Arbitrator cannot be re-
appreciated in a petition under section 34 of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act. This is also a specific stand taken by the claimant-
company that a post-amendment arbitral Award can be challenged
on a very limited ground as indicated in “Ssangyong Engineering
and Construction Co. Ltd.”1 and no such ground is available in the
present case.
