Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madhya Pradesh High Court's dismissal of LPA No. 16 of 1993, affirming that the plaintiff, Rameshwar Prasad, failed to prove readiness and willingness to perform the contract as required for specific performance under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act. The Court noted that the plaintiff's claim of waiver of interest was not substantiated, leading to the conclusion that the essential ingredients for a decree of specific performance were not established. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the High Court's decision was upheld.
