Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the termination of a dealership agreement under Clause 58, which allows for termination upon breach of contract. The Court held that the petitioner Corporation acted within its rights to terminate the agreement after the dealer's outlet failed a Marker Test, indicating contamination of High Speed Diesel. The Court affirmed that the termination was in accordance with the contractual provisions and upheld the actions taken by the Corporation.
