Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order restoring 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 the plaintiff had sufficiently established her case for specific performance despite the defendant's claims of forgery and lack of the purchaser's signature. The outcome affirmed the High Court's decision, thereby upholding the trial court's decree.
