Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the decree of Specific Performance of a contract for the sale of property, emphasizing the importance of timely judicial proceedings. The Court noted that the delay in the High Court's decision, which took nearly five years, warranted a remand for fresh consideration. Ultimately, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the decree of Specific Performance, highlighting the need to adjust equities due to the protracted litigation process.
