Whether Railway can terminate contract granted in favour of contractor due to act of moral turpitude on his part?


Though it has been contended on behalf of the petitioner
that for any instance of licensee himself/his agent or staff, if found in
drunken condition/indulging in bad conduct or involved in activities
amounting to moral turpitude in Railway premises, the Contractor may be
penalized up to Rs. 5,000/- as per clause -19 of the Contract agreement,
we are of the view that Clause-23 referred to hereinabove is of
supervening import authorizing the Railway to terminate the contract
agreement in case of breach of any of the condition embodied therein and
effect forfeiture of the deposits as contemplated.
