Rule established

An award made by an arbitrator under Section 10A of the Industrial Disputes Act stands on the same footing as an award made by a tribunal referred by the government, and questions of jurisdictional error in such private arbitration awards can be examined by courts on grounds similar to judicial review of tribunal awards, including whether the arbitrator exceeded the reference.
