Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Limited has received a full judgment from the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan, Jodhpur, staying the encashment of its bank guarantee for 45 days. The order pertains to a contractual dispute with North Western Railway regarding the major upgradation of Bikaner Railway Station.

The company’s joint venture, VPRPL-KSIPL BKN JV, had previously received termination notices from the railway department on May 13 and May 14, 2026. The court order, pronounced on August 17, 2026, and received on August 19, 2026, maintains the status quo as of July 21, 2026, for a period of 30 days from the date of pronouncement.

Key Court Order Details

The judgment grants the petitioner liberty to avail appropriate and efficacious remedies before the competent forum. Vishnu Prakash R Punglia Limited stated it would file a petition before the competent forum as per the liberty granted by the court.

Financial Implications

The encashment of the performance guarantee and security deposit is stayed for the specified 45-day period. However, the company clarified that the performance guarantee and security deposit are already encashed, meaning there is no further financial implication at this stage. The company noted that the fresh tender process by the department cannot be decided at this stage, as no letter of award was issued up to July 21, 2026. This temporary stay prevents immediate financial outflow related to the forfeiture of guarantees while legal proceedings continue.
