Hardeo Rai vs Sakuntala Devi And Others

The Supreme Court held that the agreement to sell property was valid and enforceable under specific performance principles, emphasizing that the appellant failed to substantiate claims of coercion or joint family ownership. The Court noted that the appellant's defense lacked credible evidence, particularly regarding the alleged joint nature of the property. The judgment of the Patna High Court was set aside, and the trial court's decree for specific performance was upheld, reinforcing the enforceability of agreements under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963.
