Reliance Infrastructure arm Delhi Airport Metro Express (DAMEPL) on Monday moved the Supreme Court seeking “immediate payment” of balance arbitration award amount Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) owes to the firm, as directed by the Delhi High Court.
The Anil Ambani firm told the SC that the Delhi High Court, instead of directing the DMRC to make immediate payment of the decretal amount to DAMEPL under the award rendered in 2017, has erred in extending the time for making payment from May 31 to August 5.The HC order came on a petition by DAMEPL seeking enforcement of the arbitration award that it had won in May 2017 against DMRC. Even the Supreme Court had on September 9 last year upheld the Rs 4,600-crore arbitration award in favour of Anil Ambani group firm.
