The court observed that the extreme action of contract termination was taken only after the petitioner failed to keep the terms and conditions given therein.
The Gauhati High Court Kohima Bench has upheld the decision of the NHIDCL in terminating the ₹365 crore contract with a private company for construction of a portion of four-lane National Highway connecting Dimapur and Kohima in Nagaland. The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) on June 1 had terminated the contract with Gayatri Projects Limited (GPL), which they had been awarded on April 22, 2016. At the time of signing of agreement, it was stated that the contract works would be completed in three years from the appointed date. The scheduled date had lapsed by more than two years. Following the termination of the contract on June 1, GPL had filed a writ petition (C) before the Gauhati High Court Kohima Bench, which was dismissed on Wednesday by Justice Songkhupchung Serto and Justice S Hukato Swu.
