Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the High Court's decision to set aside a decree for specific performance under Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code. The Court held that the High Court erred in overturning the concurrent findings of fact by the Trial and First Appellate Courts, emphasizing that such findings should not be disturbed unless there is a substantial question of law. The Court reinstated the decree for specific performance in favor of the appellant, affirming the validity of the agreement for reconveyance of property.
