Headnote
SUPREME COURT REPORTS 1001 Nothing has been placed before us to establish that the 1961 Superintending Engineer was legally authorized to enter into Karamshi l•tha- such a contract on behalf of the Government; nor do the bhai d ~ ocuments ex facie show that the agreement was expressed context of the rates that might be fixed thereafter, but the said documents did not purport to emanate from the Governor. At best they were issued under the directions of the Ministe_r. We find it difficult to stretch the point further, as such a construction will make the provisions of s. 175(3)
