Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's decree for specific performance of an agreement for sale, holding that the appellant could not raise the issue of title of defendant No. 4 as it was not framed as an issue in the trial court. The court emphasized that the trial proceeded solely on the question of specific performance, and the appellant's claim regarding title was not permissible at this stage. Consequently, the appeal was found to lack merit and was dismissed without costs.
