Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals concerning the interpretation of various provisions under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court established that specific performance can be granted only when the contract is enforceable and the party seeking it has fulfilled their obligations. The appeals were partly allowed, with the Court clarifying the conditions under which specific performance may be denied, emphasizing the need for mutual consent and the absence of undue influence or coercion.
