Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute regarding the oral agreement for the sale of property between Julien Educational Trust and the respondents, emphasizing the enforceability of oral contracts under Section 10 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court held that the absence of a written agreement does not invalidate the oral agreement, provided there is clear evidence of mutual consent and consideration. The Court directed the parties to proceed with the execution of the Deeds of Conveyance as per the agreed terms, thereby upholding the appellant's claim for the property expansion.
