Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that a suit for specific performance of a contract for the sale of immovable property does not constitute a 'suit for land' under clause 12 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay. The Court clarified that the absence of a specific prayer for possession in the suit precludes it from being classified as a suit for land. Consequently, the High Court's decision to grant leave for the suit was upheld, affirming the lower court's ruling.
