Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance of a contract under the Specific Relief Act, emphasizing that a party seeking specific performance must demonstrate readiness and willingness to perform their part of the contract. The Court held that the absence of timely notice and the lack of evidence from the respondent undermined his claim, leading to the dismissal of the appeal against the High Court's decision. The Court reaffirmed the principle that an agreement must be clear and complete to be enforceable, as per Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act.
