M/S Citadel Fine Pharmaceuticals vs M/S Ramaniyam Real Estates P.Ltd.& Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the enforceability of an agreement for the sale of agricultural land under the Tamil Nadu Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulations) Act, 1978. It held that Section 6 of the Tamil Nadu Act renders agreements to sell excess vacant urban land null and void, thereby preventing specific performance of such contracts. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the agreement was unenforceable due to the statutory prohibition, resulting in the dismissal of the plaintiff's appeal for specific performance.
