Thiruvengada Pillai vs Navaneethammal & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's dismissal of the plaintiff's suit for specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, stating that the plaintiff failed to prove the existence of a valid agreement of sale dated 5.1.1980. The Court found that the evidence indicated the agreement was fabricated after the valid sale deed was executed in favor of the second defendant on 11.2.1980. The Court affirmed the trial court's conclusion that the plaintiff was not entitled to specific performance as he did not demonstrate readiness and willingness to perform his part of the contract.
