Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the contract for the sale of house property was enforceable despite the absence of prior sanction from the Chief Commissioner, as the condition did not render the contract inchoate. The Court ruled that the defendant-appellant was obligated to apply for the necessary sanction, and if refused, the plaintiffs were entitled to damages. The High Court's decree for specific performance was upheld, emphasizing that new points not raised in the High Court should not be introduced at this stage.
