A Bench led by Justice Pankaj Mithal sought a response from the government on an appeal filed by Beaver Infra Consultants challenging a Gauhati High Court judgment that dismissed its plea for an appointment of an arbitrator in its dispute with North Eastern Frontier Railway (NEFR). The HC had refused relief on the ground that value of claims in arbitration exceed 20% of the contract value, thus arbitration as a remedy was excluded in the case.
