M/S CITADEL FINE PHARMACEUTICALS vs M/S RAMANIYAM REAL ESTATES P.LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the enforceability of a sale agreement under the Tamil Nadu Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulations) Act, 1978, specifically Section 6, which deems agreements for excess vacant land as null and void. The Court held that the agreement for sale was unenforceable due to the statutory prohibition, thereby upholding the decision of the Madras High Court. The outcome affirmed that the plaintiff could not seek specific performance as the agreement contravened the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Act.
