UNION OF INDIA vs HARI SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the enforceability of a Supplementary Agreement under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, specifically addressing the validity of claims made post-settlement. The Court emphasized that once a full and final settlement is acknowledged, as per the terms of the Supplementary Agreement dated 27.04.2004, no further claims can be made under the Principal Agreement. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling that the contractor had no further claims against the Railway after the settlement.
