Petitioner: PROVINCE OF PUNJAB and another VS Respondent: Malik SARFRAZ NAWAZ
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Saad Saood Jan Title: PROVINCE OF PUNJAB and another vs Malik SARFRAZ NAWAZ Case No.: Civil Petition No,1105 of 1983 Date of Judgment:1988-08-28 Reported As: 1989 SCMR 1421 Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER ' MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--Petitioners have sought leave to appeal against the dismissal by the High Court of their Civil Revision. It had arisen out of an arbitration matter. The petitioners had raised objections to award of a sole arbitrator. They were dismissed by the trial Court. Their appeal and revision having been dismissed, they have now sought leave to appeal. Learned counsel while agreeing with the High Court that the Arbitrator was not bound to give reasons on the day he made his award contended that the High Court was bound to direct the Arbitrator to re-write the award giving his reasons in support thereof. This according to the learned counsel, was made necessary by the amendment in the Arbitration Act section 26-A. ' After hearing the learned counsel and taking into account the contents (reasons) of the award in question, we are satisfied that the refusal by the High Court to exercise its discretion for directing the re-writing of the award, did not suffer from any infirmity so as to justify interference by this Court. Leave to appeal, therefore, is refused.
