PUKRAJ D. JAIN vs G. GOPALAKRISHNA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance of a contract under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, holding that the trial court's rejection of the amendment application to convert a suit for recovery of advance into one for specific performance was erroneous. The Court emphasized that limitation under Section Limitation Act does not bar a suit for specific performance if the plaintiff was in possession of the property. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
