M/S. A.S. Motors Pvt. Ltd vs U.O.I. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the termination of the contract for collection of user fees by the appellant, affirming that the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) acted within its rights under the contract terms due to violations including overcharging. The Court noted that the appellant had received substantial amounts exceeding the contracted fee, justifying the forfeiture of the performance security under the contract. The judgment reinforces the principle that contractual obligations must be adhered to, and breaches can lead to termination and penalties as per the contract's stipulations.
