In a big relief to Ashoka Buildcon, the District Court of Pune has upheld the Arbitral Award in favour of the company.  The award has upheld in respect to the project for widening to four lanes and strengthening of existing two lanes carriageway improvement of Westerly Diversion to Pune City from (km 0.000 to km 34.423) on NH-4 in the State of Maharashtra.

The project was executed by the company in the year 2000 post which the company preferred a claim against NHAI, the employer arising out of the execution of work. The tribunal awarded claims of Rs 31.88 crore including interest of Rs 11.11 crore till the date of awards i.e. up to May 15, 2008. 

However, NHAI preferred application before the District Court of Pune for setting aside the award. Towards this development which is much in the favour of the company, the application of NHAI against the award was dismissed by the Court on September 28, 2012. Further, the court also dismissed the cross application of the company in respect to rejected balance amount claimed. Meanwhile, the amount accumulated till date of upholding the award by District Court, Pune, i.e. till September 28, is approximately Rs 48 crore including interest.
