casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Hindustan Construction Company Limited v. NHAI The Supreme Court upheld arbitral awards favoring contractors on embankment measurement methodology, setting aside Delhi High Court judgments that had interfered with the awards. The court held that composite embankments made of soil and fly ash should be measured as unified wholes using average end area method, not bifurcated by material type. Since the tribunal's interpretation was plausible and supported by technical experts, contract terms, and DRB precedent, courts could not substitute their own view under Section 34 of the Arbitration Act. NHAI must pay contractors 12% uniform interest from award date to payment within eight weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
