‘Arbitrary’: Bombay HC junks MMRDA’s order to end French company contract

The Bombay High Court ruled the MMRDA’s termination of Systra’s contract for three Mumbai Metro lines as arbitrary and unfair. The court mandated the MMRDA to reassess the contract termination, citing the agency’s failure to provide valid reasons. The decision emphasizes that state bodies must act fairly even within private contracts.
