New Delhi: The counsel for the Embassy of Afghanistan in India has written to the Supreme Court registry regarding a case pertaining to a dispute between the embassy and a Delhi-based construction company over repair works done at its premises, news reports said.The case has been ongoing since 2010. The embassy and the construction firm, KLA Const. Technologies Private Limited, had been locked in a legal battle over whether the arbitration can be carried out in India or should have gone to Kabul.According to the LiveLaw, the embassy averred that since the company did only 40% of the work as per the contract, and which was also of poor quality, the Embassy had to engage another contractor to complete the work for the rehabilitation of the Embassy.Also read: What the US Didn’t Learn in Afghanistan, According to the Govt’s Own Inspector GeneralThe Delhi high court in its June 18 order ruled in favour of the contractor, following which the embassy filed an appeal before the Supreme Court.Citing the “state of turmoil” in the country, lawyer Ejaz Maqbool, representing the embassy, sought an adjournment for six weeks, to which the bench of Justices Vineet Saran and Dinesh Maheshwari asked, “Do you think that situation will be settled in six weeks?”Maqbool replied, “No, but at least I will be able to get instruction from the new regime.
