The Maharashtra state government had signed a contract with Manaj Tollway in 2013, which the latter opted out of in 2015 and invoked arbitration. On 12 December 2019, Bombay High Court (HC) passed an order finalising the consent terms. As only Rs 1 crore was paid, Manaj moved a contempt petition for non-compliance of the order. On 30 January 2020, the state deposited Rs 357 crore in HC. In March this year, the HC had rejected the government's review petition against Manaj and upheld the consent terms signed December 2019.
"The Supreme Court of India has dismissed the Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the Government of Maharashtra in the said matter and accordingly High Court at Bombay has, vide its order dated 14 September 2021, ordered and directed the Prothonotary and Senior Master, High Court, Bombay to forthwith release the amount deposited with it by the Government of Maharashtra to the tune of Rs. 357.79 crore plus accrued interest," the company said in a statement on 16 September 2021.
