Ramakrishna Pillai & Anr vs Muhammed Kunju & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of two suits for specific performance of agreements to sell property, affirming the trial court's finding that the suits were barred by limitation under Article 54 of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court noted that while the agreements were valid, the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate readiness and willingness to perform their part of the contract within the stipulated time. The judgment of the Kerala High Court was thus affirmed, reinforcing the principle that timely action is essential in specific performance claims.
