Vimlesh Kumari Kulshrestha vs Sambhajirao And Anr

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the trial court's decree for specific performance of a contract under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, and Order XXIII Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court found that the second suit was maintainable as it was filed during the pendency of the first suit, thus Order XXIII Rule 1 did not apply. The Court reinstated the trial court's decree, emphasizing that the agreement was not vague and the subject matter was the entire house, not a part thereof.
