The five-judge Supreme Court (SC) bench will on February 15 hear the Delhi Metro Rail Corp’s (DMRC) curative petition seeking reversal of the apex court’s 2021 judgment upholding a ₹4,700-crore arbitration award that Delhi Airport Metro Express (DAMEPL), a subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure, won against the former in May 2017.
At the outset, a bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said that its tentative view is to constitute a five-judge bench to hear the case. “…Normally, the two judges who wrote the judgment have to sit (in curative). They have retired… My tentative view is we can hear in combination of five (judges),” it said.
