Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision confirming the decree for specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that the appellants had entered into a valid Sale Agreement with the respondent, which included a clear payment schedule. The Court noted that the appellants' failure to fulfill their obligations under the agreement did not absolve them of their duty to perform, thereby reinforcing the principle that specific performance is a remedy available when a contract is valid and enforceable. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
