Dear Experts
Against a Railway order supply was made as per the terms & conditions mentioned in the purchase order.The supply was accepted and payment also made there of.After expiry of 40-45 days railway intimated to us that "supply made by us is not as per railway specification."We under the gurantee/warranty clause replaced the rejected quantity but railway imposed on us liqudates damages (L.D ) When protested by us they justified the same by writing to us that" purchaser i.e. Railway has the right to impose L.D for delayed supplies". This is despite the fact that we have fulfilled our end of contractand made the supply within original delivery period stipulated in the order and Railway also made payment.
Please adise can Railway impose on us L.D in viewofabove stared facts.
