General198336 sections

This legislation establishes a specialized Arbitration Tribunal in Chhattisgarh to resolve financial and contractual disputes arising from public works contracts. It applies to contractors, government departments, and state-controlled public undertakings engaged in public infrastructure, construction, and maintenance projects valued at fifty thousand rupees or more. The law defines the tribunal's composition, qualifications for judicial and technical members, procedural rules, and strict timelines for submitting claims and delivering decisions. By barring civil courts from handling these disputes and giving tribunal awards the binding force of court decrees, the statute ensures streamlined, expert-led resolution of state contract disagreements.
