JUDGMENT
KURIAN, J.

1. Delay condoned.

2. Leave granted.

3. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the award could not be passed on account of the operation of stay. Apparently, there is no stay after 2010.

4. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed. No costs ........................ J. [ KURIAN JOSEPH ] ....................... J. [ ROHINTON FALI NARIMAN ] New Delhi; December 14, 2016.
