What happened
FactA Muzaffarpur court allowed Uttar Bihar Gramin Bank’s objection to HCL Infotech’s 2019 arbitral award. The award had allowed approximately ₹13.41 crore of HCL claims, 18% annual pendente lite and future interest, and ₹20 lakh in costs; the court said severable claims independent of the termination issue remain unaffected. HCL Infotech is evaluating remedies and may approach the competent court or Patna High Court.
