Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether a suit for specific performance of a contract for the sale of immovable property constitutes a suit for land under clause 12 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay. The Court held that a suit for specific performance, without an explicit claim for possession, does not qualify as a suit for land as per Section 22(2) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to not revoke the leave granted for the suit.
