Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of an agreement for the development of agricultural land under the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act, 1976, specifically Section 20. The Court held that the failure of the Tirupati Cooperative Housing Society to obtain necessary permissions rendered the agreement unenforceable, leading to its cancellation. Consequently, the Court upheld the lower court's decision to reject the prayer for specific performance and directed the refund of earnest money to the respondent.
