Order 46, rule 15 of Civil Procedure Rules : Power to remit for reconsideration
(1) The court may remit an award, or any other matter referred to arbitration, for reconsideration by the same arbitrator or umpire upon such terms as it thinks fit—
(a) where the award has left undetermined any of the matters referred to arbitration, or where it determines any matter not referred to arbitration, unless such matter can be separated without affecting the determination of the matters referred;
(b) where the award is so indefinite as to be incapable of taking effect; or
(c) where an objection to the legality of the award is apparent on the face of it.
(2) The order remitting the award shall state the time within which it shall be reconsidered, and rule 8 shall apply to such reconsideration as it applies to an award.
