Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the specific performance of a sale agreement under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that the agreement was valid despite the absence of one heir, Defendant No. 3, at the time of execution. The Court confirmed that the remaining heirs could sell their shares and directed them to execute the sale deed for 9/11th of the property, contingent upon Defendant No. 3's payment within three months. The appeals challenging the High Court's judgment and subsequent orders were dismissed, affirming the lower court's rulings.
