Hindustan Paper Corpn. Ltd. vs Ananta Bhattacharjee And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's order directing the appellant to refund amounts advanced by the respondents for white printing paper, along with interest at 12% per annum. The Court emphasized that the appellant's failure to supply the paper constituted a breach of obligation under the scheme initiated by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. The ruling clarified that the appellant could not avoid liability for compensation despite having refunded some amounts previously, thus affirming the respondents' right to recover their dues with interest.
