Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the Special Leave Petition by Suchetan Exports P. Ltd. concerning a breach of contract in a High Seas Sale Agreement under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court held that the failure to pay the balance amount constituted a breach, allowing the Respondent to seek cancellation of the agreements and recovery of the remaining coal. The Court emphasized the binding nature of the quality certification by an independent agency as per the agreement terms, affirming the Respondent's claims for damages and injunction.
