STATE Appellant
V/S
V.KRISHNAIAH NAIDU Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) :-

(2.) ARBITRATION Act is known for several knotty questions it gives rise to. We are confronted with one such question herein. It is whether an arbitrator appointed under S.8 or S.12 of the Act has the power to award interest on the amount awarded by him from the date of his award to the date of realisation, or till the date of decree, as the case may be.

(3.) THE contractor filed O.S. No. 1966/85 on the file of the II Additional Judge, City Civil Court at Hyderabad to make the award the rule of the Court. THE Government filed O.P. No. 3/1986 to set aside the award. THE learned Judge of the City Civil Court by his judgment and order dt. 27-8-1987 decreed O.S.1566/85 and dismissed O.P.3/1986, against which the present appeal and Civil Revision Petition are preferred by the State.
