Abstract
This article critically examines the Supreme Court’s judgment in Government
of Maharashtra v. Borse Brothers Engineers & Contractors Pvt. Ltd. (2021) 6
SCC 460, which provides significant clarification on the condonation of delay
in filing appeals under Section 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act,
1996. The ruling resolves conflicting interpretations among various High Courts
regarding the applicability of the Limitation Act to such appeals and the
discretion available to courts in condoning delays. This analysis explores the
Court’s reasoning, situates the decision within the broader statutory framework
of arbitration and commercial dispute resolution, and discusses its practical
implications for legal practitioners and arbitral jurisprudence. The judgment
marks an important step toward harmonising procedural efficiency with the
protection of substantive rights in arbitration appeals.
