Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Full Bench decision of the Kerala High Court, affirming that the plaintiff was entitled to specific performance of the contract under Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the plaintiff had demonstrated readiness and willingness to perform his part of the contract, contrary to the defendant's claims that the agreement was merely a security. The Court ruled that the High Court's interpretation of the requirements of Section 16(c) was correct, leading to the dismissal of the defendant's appeal.
