Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the enforceability of an agreement to sell immovable property under the specific facts of the case, where the lower courts had dismissed the suit based on findings of fraud and undue influence. The Court held that the agreement was not a genuine agreement to sell, affirming the lower courts' decisions. However, the parties reached a consensus during the appeal, leading to a modified decree for payment of Rs. 25,000 with interest at 12% per annum if not paid within a month, thus resolving the matter amicably.
