Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the agreement for reconveyance executed by the defendant in favor of the plaintiffs was valid and enforceable under the principles of contract law. The Court emphasized that the minors, represented by their grandmother, had a right to seek specific performance of the contract as the agreement was executed for their benefit. The Court overturned the High Court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' suit, thereby allowing the appeal and directing the reconveyance of the property as per the terms of the agreement.
