Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decree for specific performance of a contract for the sale of land, emphasizing that payment via bank draft is equivalent to cash payment under the terms of the agreement. The petitioner’s refusal to accept the bank draft at the time of registration constituted a breach of contract, as the respondent had presented the draft for the balance consideration. The Court found no error in the lower courts' decisions, affirming the validity of the specific performance decree.
