If the<\/p>\n<p>agreement can be terminated as a whole, it necessarily implies that<\/p>\n<p>part of the agreement can also be terminated. Apart from the said<\/p>\n<p>fact, we are of the opinion that even if the agreement has been<\/p>\n<p>wrongfully terminated, the petitioner has effective alternative remedy<\/p>\n<p>of claiming damages for wrongful termination of the agreement in the<\/p>\n<p>civil suit.
