PIAREY LAL vs HORI LAL

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of clauses (a) and (b) of Section 30 of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953, determining that the defendant, Piarey Lal, remained liable to perform the contract for sale of his old holding despite the consolidation and allotment of new plots. The Court held that the agreement for sale could be enforced for the new plots allotted in lieu of the original plots, thereby upholding the lower courts' decrees for specific performance. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's judgment.
