Case Summary: Dharam Pal v. Executive Engineer (C.A. No. 8705-8706/2000) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals on November 30, 2000, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found the High Court's award of 12% simple interest per annum for future periods reasonable and did not interfere with it. Key Facts: Dharam Pal, a government contractor for road construction, disputed interest awarded by an arbitrator. The arbitrator had awarded Rs. 3,72,169 with 18% interest per annum covering pre-reference, pendente lite, and future periods. The High Court disallowed pre-reference interest and reduced pendente lite interest to 15%, but granted only 12% simple interest for the future period under Section 29 of the Arbitration Act. No further next steps or dates were specified. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
