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 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) constituted a valid contract for sale of the property. The Court clarified that the appellants' failure to complete the sale was not justified, as they had received substantial payments and had not fulfilled their obligations under the MoU. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order and the decree of specific performance granted by the Principal District Court.
