Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of a contract condition regarding the measurement of quantities for embankment construction. The contractors argued for a unified measurement method, while the supervising engineer employed a bifurcated approach. The court ruled in favor of the contractors, emphasizing the need for consistency in measurement methods as per the contract terms, thereby allowing the appeals.
