Devasahayam (D) By Lrs vs P. Savithramma & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, affirming that the appellant's claim for specific performance of an oral agreement of sale was barred due to the lack of timely communication regarding the approval from Ceiling Authorities and the subsequent alienation of the property. The Court emphasized that the counter-claim for possession was maintainable as the appellant had denied the landlord-tenant relationship. The Court ruled that the appellant was liable to vacate the premises and pay mesne profits as claimed by the respondents.
