VENKATESH CONSTRN.CO. vs KARNATAKA VIDYUT KARKHANE LTD.(KAVIKA)

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision reversing the trial court's judgment in favor of the appellant, Venkatesh Construction Company, regarding a contract dispute with Karnataka Vidyuth Karkhane Limited. The Court found that the appellant failed to prove that the respondent's actions caused additional expenses or that the work was stopped due to the respondent's fault. The Court emphasized that the appellant's unilateral cessation of work without proper justification negated their claims for damages and additional payments under the contract.
