Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the plaintiff's suit for specific performance of a sale agreement was valid under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, particularly Section 10, which allows for specific performance when the contract is enforceable. The Court found that the agreement was concluded with mutual consent and that the plaintiff was ready and willing to perform his part of the contract. The High Court's dismissal of the suit was overturned, and the appeal was allowed, reinstating the trial court's judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
