St. Thomas Mount station construction contract was terminated in 2014 Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. (CMRL) has approached the Madras High Court against an award passed by a tribunal last year directing it to pay ₹39.97 crore to Consolidated Constructions Consortium Ltd. whose contract for the construction of the St. Thomas Mount elevated station and the associated viaducts was terminated in 2014.
Justice M. Sundar ordered notice to the consortium after Advocate-General Vijay Narayan, representing CMRL, claimed the award passed by the tribunal, comprising three technical members, was
per se illegal and unintelligible because adequate reasons had not been assigned for passing such an award by a 2-1 majority.
