    The High Court of Himachal Pradesh dismissed L&T Himachal Hydro Power Ltd's state applications seeking referral to arbitration under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, finding the applications barred by delay. The court ruled that since the state filed its reply on 22.09.2018 (first statement on substance of dispute) but filed the arbitration referral application only on 10.11.2025—over seven years later—it had waived its right to arbitration, which must be invoked not later than submission of the first statement. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
