Adani claim for refund of Rs 280 crore premium: Himachal Pradesh HC overturns order, major relief to Sukhu govt
The division bench of Justices Vivek Singh Thakur and Bipin Chandra Negi delivered the judgment hearing a petition filed by the Himachal Pradesh government against the single-bench decision in 2022.
Adani Power Ltd had sought compensation from the state government under sections 65 and 70 of the Indian Contract Act. Meanwhile, the court found that there was no legal relationship between Adani and the State, which is essential for such claims under Section 70.
