Deep dive - the full story
The Karnataka High Court modified the financial conditions previously imposed for granting a stay on a substantial arbitral award valued at ₹122.76 crore. Under the revised directive, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited must deposit ₹28.11 crore with the judicial authority.
In addition to the cash deposit, the court mandated that BMRCL furnish equal security covering the balance amount to secure the arbitral award during ongoing appellate proceedings. This ruling adjusts the immediate liquidity burden on public infrastructure entities challenging multi-crore arbitral outcomes.
BMRCL must complete the cash deposit of ₹28.11 crore and provide the requisite security instruments as stipulated by the court. Legal counsel must ensure compliance with these modified stay conditions to prevent the opposing party from executing the award.
