Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madhya Pradesh High Court's dismissal of LPA No. 16 of 1993, affirming that Rameshwar Prasad failed to prove readiness and willingness to pay interest as required for specific performance under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff's failure to establish essential ingredients for a decree of specific performance warranted the dismissal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the High Court's findings were upheld.
