Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decree for specific performance of a sale agreement under Section 16(1)(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, affirming that the respondents had sufficiently pleaded their readiness and willingness to perform their part of the contract. The Court found that the appellate court and the High Court correctly interpreted the requirements of the Code of Civil Procedure, rejecting the petitioners' claims regarding non-conformity with procedural forms. The petitioners' arguments were dismissed, and the lower court's decree was upheld.
