As per case facts, the applicant-appellant corporation challenged an arbitrator's award by filing objections under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act. These objections were dismissed by the Commercial Court. Aggrieved, ... the corporation filed an appeal to the High Court, seeking condonation for a 130-day delay, citing their status as a government organization with lengthy procedures. The question arose whether Section 5 of the Limitation Act applies to appeals under Section 37 of the Arbitration Act read with Section 13 of the Commercial Courts Act, and if such a significant delay could be condoned for a government entity. Finally, the High Court, guided by the principle of speedy dispute resolution and judicial precedents, held that while Section 5 is applicable, condonation of substantial delays is exceptional. The court found the appellant failed to demonstrate sufficient cause for the 130-day delay, even as a government body, and therefore dismissed the application for condonation and subsequently the main appeal as time-barred.
