MUNICIPAL CORPN. OF DELHI vs J.P. SAINI — C.A. No. 2972/2007

Summary of C.A. No. 2972/2007 (Municipal Corporation of Delhi v. J.P. Saini) The Supreme Court dismissed MCD's appeal on December 8, 2011, rejecting its claim that the contractor's signature on final bills constituted valid "intimation" under Clause 25 of the contract requiring arbitration demands within 90 days. The Court held that Clause 25 requires strict construction and explicit notice, not mere knowledge; moreover, the final bills lacked dates of contractor signatures, preventing the 90-day period from commencing. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
