The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's findings that the appellant-plaintiff was entitled to compensation for extra work performed under the contract executed on 12.02.1992, as per the provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court emphasized that the respondent-defendant's direction to stop work without providing revised designs constituted a breach of contract, justifying the appellant's claims for additional expenses incurred.
