Period of limitation, for a suit or arbitration is the same under Section 474 of the KMC Act even though the word "arbitration" is not found


Quick Summary
This High Court judgement clarifies that the period of limitation for initiating a suit or an arbitration proceeding is the same under Section 474 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporation (KMC) Act. Even though the word 'arbitration' isn't explicitly mentioned in that specific section, the court ruled that the Act's intent is to apply the same time limits to both types of legal actions. This ensures consistency and fairness regardless of whether a dispute is resolved through a court or an arbitrator.
