From the headnote

Arbitration Act, 1940: Arbitration Award passed in favour of the appellant-company set aside by High Court on the ground that the expression "finding" appearing in Clause 70 of the General Conditions of Contract implies something more than the mere recording of a conclusion by the Arbitrator and the Arbitrator failed to give the findings - High Court remitted the matter back to the Arbitrator for a fresh determination of the disputes between the parties - Held: Arbitrator's award was admittedly unsupported by any reason - High Court rightly set aside the award - Arbitration and Conciliation
