Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals arising from SLPs, focusing on the interpretation of various provisions under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, particularly Sections 14 and 16. The Court established that specific performance of a contract can be enforced unless the contract is voidable or the plaintiff is not ready and willing to perform their part. The appeals were allowed, and the lower court's decisions were set aside, reinforcing the enforceability of contracts under the Act.
