YESHODA vs K. NAGARAJAN

The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision to extend the time for deposit of a sum of Rs.1,80,000 in a specific performance suit, citing Section 148 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) which grants courts the power to enlarge time for compliance with orders. The Court rejected the petitioner's argument that the right to seek rescission of the decree arose after the expiry of the prescribed time, affirming the lower court's discretion in allowing the extension. Consequently, the special leave petition was dismissed.
