ABSTRACT


For the Airport Metro Express Line Project, Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited (DAMEPL) and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) signed a contract. DAMEPL terminated the agreement due to operational challenges and construction flaws, which prompted an arbitration where DMRC was ordered to repay DAMEPL. The Division Bench of the High Court partially overturned the award, but a Single Judge upheld it. The Division Bench's ruling was eventually upheld by the Supreme Court in a curative petition, highlighting the financial strain on DMRC and the court's limited involvement in arbitral awards. Initially, the Supreme Court had reversed this ruling.
