As per case facts, M/S Synergy Consultants, a consultancy firm, had a representative agreement with M/S T.D. Williamson India Private limited for promoting sales to ONGC. Disputes arose over commission
...for ONGC Uran and Hazira projects. The arbitrator awarded commission for Uran but denied it for Hazira and pre-suit interest. The appellant challenged this, but the Single Judge upheld the award, leading to this appeal. The question arose whether the Single Judge committed a jurisdictional error or applied an incorrect legal standard in upholding the arbitral award, specifically concerning the rejection of commission for the ONGC Hazira project and denial of pre-institution interest, given the limited scope of judicial interference under the Arbitration Act. Finally, the Court found no merit in the appeal, stating that the Arbitrator's plausible interpretation of the agreement, based on evidence regarding the lack of specific involvement in the Hazira project, and the discretionary decision on interest, did not constitute patent illegality or perversity warranting interference under Sections 34 and 37 of the Act. The appeal was dismissed.
