Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Arbitral Tribunal's award under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, confirming claims for additional costs due to increased royalty and sales tax, and for embankment work. The Court found that the majority decision of the Tribunal was justified based on the material presented. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision which had previously upheld the Tribunal's findings on claims one and three, while also addressing the dissent on claim two.
