Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's modification of the Subordinate Judge's decree regarding specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court emphasized that the vendor's representation of absolute ownership was crucial, and the vendee's reliance on this representation justified the enforcement of the agreement. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to direct the execution of the sale deed, thereby ensuring the vendee's rights were protected under the contract.
