  • May 2011 - Dec 2018

  Lastly posted as Executive Engineer at Techno-Legal Cell and this job profile provided me a great opportunity in advising the CPWD officials in the arbitration matters, decision making, contract management and handling of disputes in construction. The Techno-Legal Units are required to take up the cases as soon as CSF/SF is prepared by the Department and is vetted by the concerned Superintending Engineer. Techno-Legal Units scrutinize the CSF/SF and render necessary advice to the Executive Engineer/Superintending Engineer regarding the defence of the case. The Techno-Legal Units scrutinize the cases of acceptance or otherwise of an arbitration award in the power of Additional Director General/Special Director General/Director General and render necessary advice. The Chief Engineers seeks their advice in such cases. The Unit also deals with the cases of appointment of Arbitrator other than the designated Arbitrators of the Ministry of Urban Development, correspondence regarding legal opinion/opinion of the Senior Counsel and suggestions for modifications to the existing Rules and Procedures, and any clarifications needed. The Techno-Legal Units are required to examine the awards with a view to check: a. Whether the case has been properly defended before the Arbitrator and b. Whether there are any lapses on the part of concerned officials due to which the award has gone against the department. As EE, Techno-legal cell, I represented CPWD in two international arbitration cases (as per UNCITRAL)seated in New Delhi where the total amount of claim was around 80 million USD. Show less
