J.C. Budhraja vs Chairman, Orissa Mining ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the enforcement of a contract between the contractor and Orissa Mining Corporation Ltd. under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court held that the contractor was entitled to additional payments for extra work performed beyond the original contract terms, as the actual lead and lift exceeded those stipulated in the agreement. The Court emphasized the necessity of fair compensation for work done, affirming the contractor's claims and directing the lower courts to reassess the dues accordingly.
