Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court invoked its curative jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution to address a miscarriage of justice in the case of Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited vs. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. The Court held that the arbitral award was patently illegal due to unreasonable interpretation of the termination clause and overlooking vital evidence. The judgment clarified the scope of interference with arbitral awards, emphasizing that courts may intervene when there is a clear violation of principles of justice.
