Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the requirements under Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, emphasizing that a plaintiff in a suit for specific performance must demonstrate continuous readiness and willingness to perform their part of the contract. The Court held that this obligation is personal to the vendor or their legal representatives and cannot be invoked by subsequent purchasers. The appeal was decided in favor of the appellants, affirming that the plaintiff's failure to plead readiness and willingness precludes specific performance.
