As per the case facts, the State Act allowed a party to file a suit within six months from its commencement or within the period allowed by the Limitation Act, ... whichever was later, irrespective of other acts. The State Government could also file an appeal. The appeal to the Supreme Court involved examining the scope of Article 254(2) of the Constitution of India concerning legislative power. The question arose whether powers exercised by courts in making arbitration awards a "Rule of Court" constituted judicial power. Finally, the Supreme Court found that the Kerala State Act would prevail within the State due to Presidential assent under Article 254(2) of the Constitution. The High Court's contrary finding was deemed erroneous. Additionally, the finding in a previous case (G.C. Kanungo) that powers exercised by courts in making arbitration awards a "Rule of Court" are not judicial power was held to be incorrect.
