directing the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly Secretariat to pay ₹5.37 crore with interest and costs over a cancelled recruitment examination dispute. In the Section 34 challenge under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the High Court dismissed the Secretariat’s petition attacking the award. The Tribunal had held that termination of the contract was illegal because TCS had substantially performed its contractual obligations in conducting the online recruitment process for Review Officers and Assistant Review Officers. The Court rejected the Secretariat’s arguments that the contract was frustrated or that the Secretariat was a separate entity from the State. It underscored that Section 56 of the Contract Act (frustration) does not apply where obligations have been fulfilled, and technical objections on impleading the State were untenable. The award of ₹5.37 crore with monthly interest and costs was upheld, reinforcing judicial reluctance to interfere with commercial arbitration awards where the arbitral tribunal’s findings are based on plausible evidence and contractual performance.
