R.L. Kalathia & Co vs State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court held that the appellant-Firm was entitled to additional payment for extra work performed under the contract with the State Government, as per the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act and the Code of Civil Procedure, particularly Section 80. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's suit for recovery of dues, which had been initially decreed by the Civil Judge. The Supreme Court restored the Civil Judge's decree, thereby allowing the appellant-Firm to recover the amount along with interest.
