Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's Second Appeal regarding the specific performance of an Agreement of reconveyance under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court established that the right to enforce the Agreement of reconveyance was assignable and could be exercised by the assignee, in this case, the plaintiff Zahirul Huq. The Court confirmed that the obligation to reconvey the property was binding on the appellant, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
