Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, holding that the legal heirs of the original plaintiffs have the right to sue based on the original agreement dated 22.12.1970 for the sale of property. The Court emphasized that while the heirs are recognized for the purpose of adjudication, their rights are not automatically acknowledged, leaving the question of their entitlement open for future determination. The appeal was allowed, reversing the High Court's decision that had denied specific performance.
