Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the trial court, which decreed the suit in favor of the plaintiffs-appellants based on the principles of contract law as outlined in the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs had a right to re-convey the property under the terms of the agreement, and the defendant's failure to perform his part of the contract constituted a breach. The Court affirmed that the plaintiffs had made efforts to repay the consideration and were entitled to the re-conveyance of the land as per the agreement.
