Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's decree for specific performance of a sale agreement under the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court held that the plaintiff had fulfilled the conditions of the agreement, and the defendant's inability to perform due to health issues did not absolve him of his obligations. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the ancestral nature of the property did not negate the enforceability of the contract, thus allowing the appeal in favor of the plaintiff.
