Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that the agreement's terms must be clear and enforceable. The Court held that the plaintiffs were entitled to specific performance as the defendants failed to fulfill their obligations under the agreement, particularly regarding the timeline for sale and possession. The judgment of the Andhra Pradesh High Court was reversed, reinstating the original decree of the trial court in favor of the plaintiffs.
