Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's order which restored the trial court's decree for specific performance of a sale agreement under Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court held that an agreement executed solely by the vendor is valid and enforceable, provided the plaintiff establishes her case for specific performance. The Court found that the plaintiff had satisfied the necessary conditions for a decree, thus upholding the High Court's decision.
