Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, a plaintiff must prove readiness and willingness to perform the contract terms to succeed in a suit for specific performance. The Court found that the plaintiffs failed to adequately demonstrate this requirement, as their pleadings indicated changes to the contract terms that were not addressed. Consequently, the Court upheld the dismissal of the Second Appeal by the Rajasthan High Court, affirming the factual findings of the lower courts.
