HARDEO RAI vs SAKUNTALA DEVI .

The Supreme Court held that the agreement to sell property, executed on 10th April 1978, was valid and enforceable under the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the appellant's defenses, including claims of coercion and joint family property, were unsubstantiated, as the appellant failed to provide evidence of joint possession or partition. The Court upheld the trial court's decree for specific performance, thereby reversing the Patna High Court's decision that had set aside the trial court's ruling.
