The application is dismissed as the dispute has already been finally decided in the arbitration proceeding.
Summary
The petitioner, Ajay Kumar, filed an application before the Patna High Court seeking proceedings against several state officials and NHAI officials for allegedly violating directions issued in an earlier civil writ jurisdiction order dated 25 April 2023. The petitioner argued that the matter was still pending before the Court. The respondents contended that the dispute had already been adjudicated in an arbitration proceeding, where an order was passed on 15 July 2025 in Arbitration Case No.64 of 2020 (Hari Prasad & Ors.). The Court examined the claim of violation in light of the arbitration award and found that the issue had been finally decided. Consequently, the Court disposed of the petitioner's application without further hearing.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner's application for proceeding against the opposite parties for alleged violation of the 25‑April‑2023 court directions is maintainable in view of the arbitration award dated 15‑July‑2025.
