As per case facts, the University of Agricultural Sciences contracted the plaintiff for construction work, but later rescinded it citing plaintiff's non-performance. The plaintiff, after an initial Writ Petition was
...dismissed, filed a civil suit challenging the termination as illegal and sought claims for material price escalation, costs, and lost profits. The University argued the plaintiff breached the contract by not adhering to terms and attempting to impose new conditions. The question arose whether the plaintiff was entitled to price escalation for construction materials and if the defendant's rescission of the contract was legally justified. Finally, the High Court found no clear agreement for price escalation from the University, noting a prior court order had already addressed this. The court concluded the plaintiff failed to prove entitlement to claims and that the University was justified in terminating the contract due to the plaintiff's breach and delays. The trial court's partial award for cement cost difference was also rejected due to lack of evidence, leading to the dismissal of the entire suit.
