    Summary The High Court at Calcutta disposed of a writ petition challenging the Union of India's 48-hour notice to Braithwaite Burn and Jessop Construction Company to commence work on a railway project or face contract termination. Finding disputed factual questions between the parties regarding work progress and site impediments (environmental clearances, utility relocations, encroachments), the court declined to adjudicate the contractual dispute in writ jurisdiction. Instead, it directed the parties to first attempt resolution through the Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) under the contract's Clause 63.2, and if unsuccessful, proceed to arbitration as contractually mandated. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
