M. Meenakshi & Ors vs Metadin Agarwal (D) By Lrs. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance of a contract under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976, specifically referencing Section 10 and Section 26 of the Act. The Court held that the agreement to sell was frustrated due to the rejection of permission to sell the land by the competent authority, thus upholding the lower court's decision to deny specific performance but allowing for the refund of the advance and damages. The judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court was set aside, reaffirming the trial court's order regarding the refund and damages.
