Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court, which dismissed the appellant's appeals against the arbitration award, finding that the respondent had not committed any breach of contract. The Court noted that the Government's failure to extend time reasonably contributed to the delays in project completion. The judgment emphasized the importance of mutual cooperation in fulfilling contractual obligations, particularly regarding foreign exchange procurement, and affirmed the arbitration process as a valid means of dispute resolution under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
