Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants, who sold land to the respondent, were entitled to enforce the sale agreement despite the dishonor of cheques issued by the respondent for the remaining payment. The Court emphasized that the execution of the sale deed and delivery of possession constituted a valid transfer under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and that the interim order in a prior partition suit did not affect the sale of the land as it was not specifically included in the injunction. The Court ruled in favor of the appellants, allowing them to seek recovery of the amount due under the sale agreement.
