The case concerns a dispute between the Jharkhand water resources department and the Bihar-based construction company, which was awarded about ₹2.5 crore through arbitration for civil works carried out in Jamshedpur. When the company approached the court to execute the award and recover the payment, the Jharkhand high court, on August 25, directed the executing court to dispose of the matter expeditiously by November 30. Instead of complying with this direction, the department filed a civil review petition challenging the high court’s order.
