8.8 In the present case, plot was allotted to the petitioner on 17.09.2018.
The petitioner herein, after taking possession of the land, started filling up pits
by taking sand from the nearby ponds and thereafter has raised compound wall.
This has been admitted by the respondent in their counter affidavit. When the
allotment of the plot was made granting 30 months time so as to implement the
project, on completion of 18 months, the Government of India imposed Nation
wide lock down on 20.03.2020 and the out break of pandemic has caused non-
performance of the contract. Therefore, as per the judgment of the Hon'ble
High Court of Delhi in M/S Haliburton Offshore Services Inc. vs Vedanta
Limited & Another cited supra, followed by three orders passed by the Hon'ble
Apex Court excluding the Covid 19 period, the out break of pandemic being the
cause for non-performance of the contract, it is a fit case to exclude the corona
Covid 19 period. Hence, in view of the above materials, the impugned order is
liable to be set aside.
