Veerayee Ammal vs Seeni Ammal

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment which had overturned the concurrent findings of fact by lower courts regarding a suit for specific performance of a contract. The Court held that the appellant-plaintiff had established her readiness and willingness to perform her part of the contract, and that time was not the essence of the contract. The Court emphasized that the High Court's decision was contrary to Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which mandates adherence to findings of fact unless substantial questions of law are established.
