Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a dispute arising from a High Seas Sale Agreement between Suchetan Exports P. Ltd. and Gupta Coal India Limited concerning the sale of coal. The Court noted that the Respondent had filed a suit for breach of contract due to the Petitioner's failure to pay the balance amount for the coal delivered. The Court held that the agreements were valid and enforceable, emphasizing the binding nature of the quality certification by an independent agency as per Clause 3(b) of the Agreement. The outcome favored the Respondent, allowing the claims for payment and injunction against the Petitioner.
