Case Summary: LPA No. 64/2026 The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed the Union Territory's appeal against a lower court judgment ordering payment of Rs. 1,47,48,361 with 6% interest to Rightway Constructions Company for construction work executed at governmental instance. The court rejected the UT's argument that unpaid amounts for excess work lacked requisite administrative approval, finding the respondent executed work only upon appellant's direction and the work was subsequently verified and acknowledged in liability statements. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
