M/S Mehra Jewel Palace Pvt. Ltd vs Miniso Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd & Anr on 22 September, 2025
In Halliburton supra, the Court did not give the benefit
of the force majeure clause to the contractor on the ground
that the contractor committed breach of the contract even
prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the present
case, admittedly, there was no default in the payment of
lease rent till the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
