No,u/s 34 [3] of Arb and Con act,limtation period to file objections has been specifically mentioned so no court can condon even a single day delay.see the sec 34 [3] of the Act .
[3] An application for setting aside may not be made after three months have elapsed from the date on which die party making that application had received the arbitral award or, if a request had been made under section 33, from the date on which that request had bow disposed of by the arbitral tribunal: Provided that if the Court is satisfied that the applicant was prevented by sufficient cause from making the application within the said period of three months it may entertain the application within a further period of thirty days, but not thereafter.
