Judgment text excerpt

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, emphasizing that the appellant-Corporation failed to deliver the full quantity of goods as per the tender agreement. The Court noted that the appellant's claim for storage charges and interest was not valid due to its own breach of contract. The judgment reinforced the principle that a party cannot benefit from its own wrong, thereby affirming the lower courts' findings on the matter.
