1999 (9) TMI 815 - SUPREME COURTWhether the arbitrator has acted beyond the terms of the contract or has travelled beyond his jurisdiction? Held that:- Appeal allowed. From the facts of present case it is apparent that claim before the arbitrator in November-December 1985 was apparently barred by period of limitation. Letter dated 3-9-1983 written by the appellant repudiating the respondent’s claim on account of damages or losses sustained by him would not give fresh cause of action. On that date cause of action for recovering the said amount was barred by the period of three years prescribed under article 137. Under section 3, it was the duty of the arbitrator to reject the claim as it was on the face of it, barred by the period of limitation.
