Orders
The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed H.S. Construction Company's petition for arbitrator appointment, holding that the contract's Clause 24 expressly excludes arbitration for contracts valued below Rs. 2 crores—requiring court recourse instead. Though the Executive Engineer suggested depositing 2% to request higher authority approval, the court ruled this did not constitute agreement to arbitration and cannot override the explicit contractual terms excluding arbitration for this contract value threshold. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
