The Supreme Court's decision in the provided document primarily addresses the limitation period for applications under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, related to setting aside arbitral awards. It emphasizes the importance of calculating the limitation period accurately, considering the date of receipt of the award and the correct interpretation of calendar months versus days. The Court clarifies that the period of limitation is to be computed from the day after the award is received, excluding holidays or non-working days when the award is delivered or left in the office on such days. It also stresses that the period of three months should be understood as calendar months, not merely 90 days, and the additional thirty days for condonation are also to be calculated accordingly (!) (!) (!) .

However, the document does not directly address limitation periods specifically for negotiable cases, such as negotiable instruments or related disputes. Its focus is on arbitration awards and the procedural aspects of filing petitions to set aside such awards within prescribed limitation periods. Therefore, based on this document, the Supreme Court did not provide a specific ruling or commentary on limitation for negotiable cases.
