Shamsu Sumara Beevi vs G. Alex And Anr

The Supreme Court held that under Section 28(3) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, the plaintiff is entitled to interest on the sale consideration from the date of deposit until the execution of the sale deed. The Court emphasized that the defendant's failure to execute the sale deed within the stipulated time justified the claim for interest. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decree for specific performance and the award of interest to the respondents.
