Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance of a contract under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, concerning a sale agreement dated 30.7.1977. The Court held that minor variations in land area due to consolidation proceedings do not invalidate the agreement, referencing Smt. Baikunthi Devi v. Mahendra Nath (AIR 1977 SC 1514). The Court reinstated the High Court's decision allowing specific performance, emphasizing that the plaintiffs had demonstrated readiness and willingness to perform their contractual obligations.
