The Bombay High Court upheld an arbitral award against Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing Company Limited, ruling that a buyer cannot reject goods after putting them to use. In Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing Company Limited v. Remi Sales and Engineering Limited, Godrej had purchased stainless steel tubes worth over ₹5 crore for an oil refinery project. The goods were supplied, accepted, installed, and even reinstalled after cleaning for alleged rusting. Despite this, Godrej later rejected the goods and withheld payment, prompting arbitration. The arbitral tribunal awarded ₹4.25 crore with interest to Remi, holding that Godrej had deemedly accepted the goods. Dismissing Godrej’s challenge under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, the High Court relied on Section 42 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, which treats use of goods as acceptance. The Court held that once goods are accepted, rejection is impermissible; the buyer’s remedy lies only in damages for breach of warranty, if any. It also reiterated the limited scope of judicial interference in arbitral awards and applied the doctrine of election, holding that a party cannot approbate and reprobate simultaneously.
