Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning specific performance of a contract for the sale of flats, emphasizing the enforceability of agreements under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, particularly Section 14. The Court held that the plaintiffs, having made substantial payments and entered into a letter of intent with the Developer, were entitled to seek specific performance despite delays caused by external litigation affecting the Developer's ability to construct. The judgment of the Bombay High Court was set aside, affirming the plaintiffs' right to enforce the contract.
