Summary: The High Court of Orissa partially allowed the State's appeal against the Single Judge's judgment, upholding the contractor's entitlement to interest on delayed payment of ₹2.79 crore but reducing the interest rate from 9% to 7.25% per annum for the period June 29, 2018 to July 30, 2021. The court rejected the State's argument about disputed facts, holding that the writ court could determine the matter based on undisputed evidence that work was completed on time and payment was delayed. Payment must be made within 8 weeks, or the original 9% rate applies. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
