The delay in making an application for setting aside the arbitral award under section 34
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Let's understand Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act first.
This section deals with setting aside an arbitral award, meaning challenging the decision made by the arbitrator.
There's a specific time limit for filing an application to challenge the award.
The law states that the application must be made within 3 months from the date you receive the award.
However, there's a provision for condoning the delay, meaning the court *might* excuse a delay in filing.
But, this condonation is not unlimited.
The court can only condone the delay for a maximum period of 30 days, after the initial 3-month period.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Can be condoned for a maximum period of 30 days.

LoginA party must file an application to set aside an arbitral award within 3 months from the date they received the award.
The court may condone a delay of up to 30 additional days only if sufficient cause is shown.
No application can be entertained after 120 days (3 months + 30 days), even if there’s a valid reason.
