H. SIDDIQUI (D) BY LR. vs A. RAMALINGAM

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in setting aside the Trial Court's decree for specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, based on inadequate consideration and market value escalation. The Court emphasized that the registered agreement to sell, executed on 25.6.1979, was valid and binding, and the appellant had fulfilled his obligations under the contract. The appeal was allowed, restoring the Trial Court's decree for specific performance.
