Laxmi Cement vs Jagrit Arohan Seva Sansthan: Judicial Review in Action

Did anyone see the recent verdict in the Laxmi Cement Ltd vs Jagrit Arohan Seva Sansthan case? It's like Section 97 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, comes to life! The court basically gave a judicial review to the Arbitral Tribunal's decision, saying it was 'bad in law'. The point is, if an award is 'bad in law', the court can interfere and correct it. It's all about the principle of judicial review, where the superior court can review the decisions of the subordinate courts or tribunals. It's like a check on the power of the tribunals, to ensure they're acting within their limits. And in this case, the Supreme Court said the tribunal went beyond its powers, so we have a good example of judicial review in action.
