Pride Construction Co. vs Delhi Development Authority on 31 October, 1991
In the case of M/s. Pride Construction (Supra) , this court found that since the arbitrator held that the petitioner could not come to know about the increase in labour wages upto the time of submitting of its tender, the contractor becomes entitled for the extra amount only under Clause 10-C if he properly pays the increased wages under the notification. It was further held that since there was no dispute that the contractor did pay the wages as increased by the notification dated 23.2.1982 and the petitioner was claiming only that amount, which was upheld by the arbitrator , therefore, the court found that there was no reasonable ground and reason to differ with the view taken by the arbitrator which was found to be reasonable.
