Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the sale of property originally belonging to C.S. Abdul Momin Sheriff, affirming that the surviving sons and daughters had specific shares in the property as per their inheritance rights. The Court ruled that the agreement of sale executed by Defendant Nos. 1, 2, and 4 to 7 was valid, and directed them to execute the sale deed for their 9/11th share to the plaintiff, contingent upon payment by Defendant No. 3. The Court dismissed the appeals challenging the High Court's judgment and the subsequent application, thereby affirming the lower court's decree for specific performance.
