Sargunam (Dead) By Lr vs Chidambaram & Another

The Supreme Court held that in a suit for specific performance, the plaintiff must demonstrate readiness and willingness to perform their part of the contract as per Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the plaintiff failed to complete the sale within the stipulated time, thereby breaching the contract, and upheld the trial court's decision that the defendant was justified in selling the property to a third party. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decree in favor of the respondent.
