Neo Built Corporation Vs Union of India (Calcutta High Court)
Calcutta High Court examined whether the Union of India, acting through Metro Railway as an award-debtor, was entitled to deduct 10% tax at source (TDS) from an arbitral award amount while making payment to the award-holder. The arbitral award had attained finality after dismissal of the challenge under section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, as well as the subsequent appeal.
