[31/12, 08:34] Meta AI: The Madras High Court has upheld an arbitral award in favour of I.T. Expressway Ltd. against M/s. Ramky Infrastructure Ltd., refusing to interfere with the contractor’s challenge. Justice N. Anand Venkatesh held that the award was based on a reasonable interpretation of contractual terms and didn’t warrant interference under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.

The dispute involved rate fixation for non-BoQ variation items in a road improvement contract. The contractor failed to provide required rate analysis under Clause 37.1, justifying the employer’s use of Clause 37.2 to fix rates based on comparable schedule rates. The court emphasized that courts can’t sit in appeal over an arbitrator’s plausible view on contractual rates.
