Case History
Case Summary: K. Ramasamy v. State of Tamil Nadu On April 12, 2002, the Supreme Court allowed K. Ramasamy's appeals against the High Court of Madras judgment, which had set aside an arbitrator's award of Rs. 27,95,215/- for extra lead charges. The dispute arose because the originally designated earth/gravel source (chainage 1750-2000, 1-4 km away) proved unsuitable, forcing the contractor to source materials from 6-18 km away. The Court held that while Clause 106.02 of the contract bars reimbursement for developing new sources, it explicitly permits cost adjustments for increased haul distance. The Court found the High Court erred in misinterpreting this clause and directed the arbitrator's award be made a Rule of Court, disposing the appeals.
