Spokesman
of the Power Division while clarifying the news regarding award of London Court
of International Arbitration in the case between NTDC and some IPPs, said that
the expert determination on which basis the Award is announced, is still under
litigation in the High Court in Pakistan besides a separate litigation in the
Civil Court.
He
further said that NTDC took the plea that the expert determination is under
litigation and suspended by the appropriate court, therefore, the award should
not be based on it. He said that NTDC has already challenged the Partial Final
Award issued in June 2017 and this award is in continuation of the same and
NTDC has the legal right to challenge this award.
Keeping
in view the above facts, the spokesman said Government is thoroughly examining
the Award and will exhaust all available options to defend the case.
