Inkel cancels building contract for cancer research centre
The Kerala High Court on Monday upheld the decision of Inkel Ltd. to terminate the contract given to P and C Projects Pvt. Ltd., Erode, for the construction of the Cochin Cancer Research Centre, Ernakulam. Justice N. Nagaresh passed the order while dismissing a petition filed by the company against the contract termination. The company contended in its petition that the prescribed period for completion of the project as per the agreement was 730 days from the date of handing over of the project site. The construction commenced on July 25, 2018, and was expected to be completed by July 23, 2020. However, several unexpected incidents, including floods and COVID-19 outbreak, led to delay in completing the project within the time period.More Related News
