DAYAWANTI THROUGH SMT. SUNITA GUPTA (LEGAL HEIR) vs COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal arising from the High Court's modification of a trial court decree regarding unpaid amounts for construction work under a government contract. The Court held that the appellant was entitled to compensation for extra work performed, specifically under the claims for pitching and excavation, but not for additional lead for water and sand. The Court upheld the trial court's decree in part, affirming the entitlement to Rs. 1,76,199 for pitching and Rs. 90,165 for excavation, while modifying the total amount awarded to the appellant.
