Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a suit for specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, specifically referencing Section 16(c). The Court established that mere pleading of readiness and willingness to perform a contract is insufficient without evidence to substantiate such claims. The Court affirmed that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate their readiness and willingness to perform their obligations under the contract, leading to the dismissal of their appeal.
