Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions regarding the specific performance of a registered agreement to sell land under the Indian Contract Act. The appellant's claim of fraud was dismissed as he failed to raise the issue in his written statement or provide evidence of the land's market value, which he claimed was significantly higher than the agreed price. The Court found no unconscionability in the agreement and dismissed the appeals, affirming the decrees of the Trial Court and High Court.
