70. It is the settled position in law that a Force
Majeure clause is to be interpreted narrowly and not
broadly. Parties ought to be compelled to adhere to
contractual terms and conditions and excusing non-
performance would be only in exceptional situations.
As observed in Energy Watchdog (supra) it is not in
the domain of Courts to absolve parties from
performing their part of the contract. It is also not
the duty of Courts to provide a shelter for justifying
non-performance. There has to be a 'real reason'
and a 'real justification' which the Court would
consider in order to invoke a Force Majeure
clause."
