Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the agreement dated 29.1.79 executed by the respondent constituted a valid agreement for sale, rejecting the High Court's erroneous interpretation that it was merely a promise to transfer property. The Court emphasized that both terms convey the same legal effect and found no contradiction between the plaint allegations and the agreement. Consequently, the Court restored the trial court's decree for specific performance, allowing the appellant's appeal and setting aside the High Court's judgment.
