Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court analyzed Section 19(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, and Section 3 of the Transfer of Property Act, establishing that specific performance of a contract can be enforced against parties claiming under the vendor, except for bona fide transferees for value without notice of the original contract. The Court clarified that a transferee must demonstrate payment for value, good faith, and lack of notice to fall within the excluded category. The judgment emphasized the principle of constructive notice regarding the title of a person in actual possession of property.
