Hence, rhere is no fautr of the respondent in delaved construction which has been considered by DTCP and theAuthorjtywhil€ considering its applicarions ofco.sidering zero period, renewal oflicense and extension ofregisnation by the Aurhoriry.

Due to reasons statel hereinabove it became imposs,ble to iulnl cont.actualobligations due to a particula. event rhar was unforeseeable and unavoidable by thc respondenr.

The intentio! otthe porce Majeure clause is to save rhe perfornring party from consequences ofanything over which he has no controt.It h nr more res integra that tor.e majeure is inrendcd to include risks beyond :h e reasonable contro I of a parry, ,ncu rred n or as a product or resultofrhe negtigence or matfeasa.ce ofa party, whjch have a marerialty adverse efrect on thc abitity ot such pafty ro perfo. ro perfo.m its obligarions, as where non,performance is caused byrhe usualand naturat consequences ofexternal forces or where the intervening circumstances are specitically contenrftated.
Thus, ir was submittcd that rhe delay in cDnstruction, if any, is artributable to reasons beyond the co.trol otlhc nspondent and as such the respondent nay be qranred reasonrhie extenslon in terms ofrhe buyeragreemenr_ 20.
