Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 15(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, the plaintiff is entitled to specific performance of the agreements of reconveyance as the agreements clearly established a right of repurchase. The Court found that the agreements executed by the respondents in favor of 'A' and 'B' were valid and enforceable, and the plaintiff's suits for specific performance were legitimate. The High Court's decision to set aside the trial court's decree was reversed, and the appeals were allowed, reinstating the trial court's judgment.
