s 36 Extension of time for making award
36.—(1) Where the time for making an award is limited by the arbitration agreement, the Court may by order, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, extend that time. (2) An application for an order under this section may be made —(a) upon notice to the parties, by the arbitral tribunal; or (b) upon notice to the arbitral tribunal and the other parties, by any party to the proceedings. (3) An application under this section must not be made unless all available tribunal processes for application of extension of time have been exhausted. (4) The Court is not to make an order under this section unless it is satisfied that substantial injustice would otherwise be done. (5) The Court may extend the time for such period and on such terms as it thinks fit, and may do so whether or not the time previously fixed by or under the arbitration agreement or by a previous order has expired. (6) The permission of the appellate court is required for any appeal from a decision of the Court under this section.[40/2019] [Act 25 of 2021 wef 01/04/2022]
