The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court affirming the Trial Court's decree in favor of the respondent for breach of contract regarding the sale of damaged foodgrains. The Court found that the appellant-Corporation failed to deliver the full quantity of goods as per the tender agreement, thus constituting a breach of contract under the relevant terms. The Court ruled that the appellant was liable to pay the decreed amount of Rs.81,442.53 with interest, rejecting the appellant's claims regarding storage charges and interest on late payment.
