KERALA STATE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM vs RAMBAL COMPANY .

The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's decision that the quantification of damages demanded from the respondent was not legally sustainable, as the agreement did not provide for arbitration and explicitly excluded it as a mode of dispute resolution. The Court emphasized that the jurisdiction for resolving disputes lay solely with the Civil Courts in Thiruvananthapuram, as per clause 54 of the agreement. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling and leaving the question of limitation open for future adjudication.
