Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the conflict between Kartar Singh vs. Harjinder Singh and Rachakonda Narayana vs. Ponthala Parvathamma regarding specific performance of contracts. The Court held that a decree for specific performance could be granted in favor of the plaintiffs, as the property was owned jointly by the appellant and his sister, despite the trial court's dismissal based on technical grounds. The Court emphasized that the omission of certain Khasra numbers in the plaint was inadvertent and allowed for amendment, affirming the need for substantive justice over procedural technicalities.
