Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants breached the contract under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, specifically Section 16, by failing to provide a faultless EPABX system and adequate service as promised. The Court emphasized that the warranty implied a duty to ensure the goods were of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose, which was not met. Consequently, the Court upheld the decision of the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, ordering the appellants to compensate the respondent for the defective goods and lack of service.
