Usha Mehra, J.(1) It is said that statute is an edict of the legislature and the conventional way of interpreting or construing a statute is to seek the 'intention' of its maker. The duty of judicature is to act upon the true intention of the Legislature. Delhi Rent Control Act.1958 (in short the Act) was amended by the amendment Act 1988. Special provisions like Sections 14-A to 14-D were added to provide rights to certain classified landlords in order to enable them to recover immediate possession of their premises for their residence.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Mar-17-1994

Reported in: 1994(2)ARBLR80(Delhi); 54(1994)DLT651; (1994)107PLR65

Mr. J. K. Mehra, J.1. These are the objections to the award of Mr. V. R. Vaish and S. C. Jain, Arbitrators dated October 31, 1991. The Arbitrators dealt with both the claims of the objections as also counter-claims of the respondents. It is further noticed that the award is a non-speaking award. The objections are mainly taken to the findings of the Arbitrator on claims No. 2, 13, 15 and 23 and the findings on counter-claim No. 19 Item No. 12 of Sub-Head (ii) and 22. 2. Before considering various claims, I think it appropriate to state the legal position, which is as follows : 3. Even when an Arbitrator is required to give reasons, according to the settled law, it is not for the court to examine the reasonableness of the reasons given by the Arbitrator and it is also not necessary for the Arbitrator to discuss in detail the evidence placed before him. A reference in this behalf may be made to the case of Sudarshan Trading Company v. Government of Kerala and Another : [1989]1SCR665 , an...
