Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant specific performance of a contract under Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, despite the trial court's findings that the plaintiffs were not ready and willing to perform their part of the contract. The Court found that the High Court correctly interpreted the plaintiffs' averments in the plaint as sufficient to meet the statutory requirements. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decree in favor of the respondents.
