Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, particularly Section 19(b), in a case involving subsequent purchasers who claimed to be bona fide purchasers for value without notice of a prior agreement. The Court held that the trial court's finding that the subsequent purchasers had knowledge of the original agreement was valid, thus affirming the enforceability of the agreement. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the trial court's decree for specific performance in favor of the plaintiff.
