Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court correctly interpreted the agreement for sale and found that the defendant was obligated to execute the sale deed upon receiving full consideration, including development charges. The Court emphasized that the First Appellate Court erred in concluding that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to perform his part of the contract, thus reversing the lower court's findings. The Court directed specific performance of the contract under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, allowing the plaintiff to proceed with the sale.
