The stipulated dates for commencement and completion of the project were 29-07-2006 and 29-01-2009 respectively, however, the actual commercial operation date was 28-09-2009. The Contractor vide its Statement of Claims raised 6 claims, AT adjudicated the said claims and awarded interest @ 2% above the SBI PLR on all the claims as well as interest @ 12% from the date of award till realization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The only question that arises for consideration is whether sub-clauses 13.5.1 and 13.5.2 of the Agreements would apply or whether sub-clause 31.2 read with Sections 55 and 73 of the Contract Act would apply. A reading of sub-clause 13.5.2 of the agreement forming part of the subject matter would show that the sums to be awarded as damages against the failure of NHAI to make available the Additional Right of Way would fall within the domain of the said clause only if the provisional completion certificate was not delayed or affected as a consequence of delay\/non-fulfilment of reciprocal promise by the NHAI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court opined that the damages awarded by the AT are in conformity of the aforesaid sub-clauses. It is the second proviso to sub-clause 13.5.2 of the Agreement which would need to be considered and thus, the computation of damages would be in accordance with sub-clause 31.2 of the Agreement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that the view taken by the Arbitral Tribunal is a plausible one and does not need interference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">National Highway Authority of India v D S Toll Roads Pvt Ltd., <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/AuAqH0T2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 SCC OnLine Del 5833<\/a>, decided on 19-09-2023<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. S.
