Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions regarding the specific performance of a sale agreement under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, affirming that the appellant's claim of fraud was unsubstantiated as no evidence was presented to support the assertion that the agreement was unconscionable. The Court noted that the appellant failed to raise the issue of market value in the written statement or during trial, thus reinforcing the validity of the agreement. The appeals were dismissed, confirming the decree for specific performance in favor of the respondents.
