STATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH vs SARAB DAYAL

The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals concerning the interpretation of various provisions under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, particularly Section 14, which outlines the circumstances under which specific performance of a contract may be enforced. The Court established that specific performance is not available as a remedy if the contract is determinable, and emphasized the necessity of mutual consent for the enforcement of such contracts. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that denied specific performance in the absence of valid contractual obligations.
