NARINDERJIT SINGH vs NORTH STAR ESTATE PROMOTERS LTD.

The Supreme Court upheld the lower appellate court's decision denying specific performance of an agreement for sale dated 22.10.1996, citing that while the respondent proved the execution of the agreement and readiness to perform, the trial court found it unfair to compel the appellant to execute the sale deed due to a significant increase in land price. The Court referenced Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, establishing that specific performance is not granted if it would be inequitable. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
