Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the agreement of sale dated 28.11.1984 was unenforceable due to vagueness and unidentifiability of the property, as well as being void on grounds of public policy for deliberate undervaluation to evade stamp duty. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the Regular Second Appeal, thereby upholding the lower courts' findings that denied specific performance. The Court emphasized that the agreement did not meet the necessary legal standards for enforceability under contract law.
