Validity of Arbitral Award - neglected to furnish the Form-Cs within the time prescribed resulting in a sales tax assessment - penalty imposed under the ‘Take or Pay/Supply or Pay’ Clause - HPCL had delayed in filing its counter claim, which was filed along with its sur-rejoinder after the pleadings were complete.
