Background
The respondent, former Managing Director of appellant company, claimed a 12% salary increment that was allegedly awarded before his suspension. The arbitrator ordered payment of this increment, but the appellant appealed, arguing there was no evidence supporting the 12% increment and that the arbitrator grossly misdirected himself on the facts.
