Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the principle of specific performance under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, affirming that the appellants were entitled to enforce the agreements for sale despite the defendants' claims of invalidity. The Court emphasized that the readiness and willingness of the appellants to perform their part of the agreement were adequately demonstrated, and the plea of limitation was not substantiated. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside, directing the execution of the sale deeds in favor of the appellants.
