THE GUJARAT PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS DISPUTES ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL ACT, 1992

The Gujarat Public Works Contracts Disputes Arbitration Tribunal Act, 1992

This legislation establishes a specialized tribunal in Gujarat to resolve financial and contractual disputes worth fifty thousand rupees or more arising from public works contracts. It applies to contractors, private individuals, the state government, and government-owned undertakings involved in infrastructure projects, repairs, or public procurement. By mandating that disputes be referred to this dedicated tribunal rather than regular civil courts or private arbitrators, the law aims to streamline resolution processes, provide binding decisions quickly, and ensure expert judicial oversight. This helps prevent costly delays in public infrastructure projects while ensuring fair, centralized dispute resolution between government authorities and private contractors.
