Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Karnataka High Court erred in directing the appellant to pay Rs.32,000 with interest to the respondent without a proper finding on the existence of an agreement for sale. The Court emphasized that the first appellate court did not establish the validity of the agreement, and thus the High Court's directions were based on a misinterpretation of the facts. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the trial court's dismissal of the suit for permanent injunction.
