Judge(s): MARKANDEY KATJU ,ASOK KUMAR GANGULY
Date of Judgment: Wednesday, September 16, 2009
K.V.MOHANMMED ZAKIR Versus REGIONAL SPORTS CENTRE
We are of the view that the settled position in law is that Court should not substitute its own view for the view taken by the arbitrator while dealing with the proceedings for setting aside an award. It is equally well settled, where the arbitrator acts within jurisdiction, 'the reasonableness of the reasons' given by the arbitrator is not open to scrutiny by Courts. However, if the reasons are such as no person of ordinary prudence can ever approve of them or if the reasons are so 'outrageous in their defiance of logic' that they shock the conscience of the Court, then it is a different situation. And in an appropriate case the Court may interfere. However, the degree of such unreasonableness must be greater than the standard in a certiorari proceeding
