| Decision |
The Islamabad High Court addressed objections raised by the defendant regarding the arbitration award issued in this case. The defendant claimed that the award was issued after six months of the arbitration proceedings and that it was on improperly valued stamp paper. The court found that the defendant had participated in the proceedings without raising any objections at that time, thus rejecting the claims of prejudice. The court also acknowledged the concession by the claimant's counsel regarding the interest awarded by the arbitrator, amending the award to limit interest to the date of the award. Ultimately, the court ruled that the arbitration award was valid and made it a rule of the court. |
