A timely and amicable settlement of disagreements between the executing agency and consultants and/or contractors should be worked out to the extent possible to avoid court cases and minimize the associated costs. The executing agency (EA) terminated the contract of the consultant for institutional capacity development on grounds of performance. As a result, both parties presented arguments to the dispute board and the matter is under the purview of Honorable High Court of Jharkhand. As such, the state government and the EA have been advised to follow an arbitration hearing in court to save time and resources. A timely and amicable settlement between the EA and consultant could have avoided the court cases and minimized the cost.
