Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 14 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that specific performance of a contract can be enforced unless the contract is determinable. The Court held that the mere fact that a contract is determinable does not preclude the possibility of specific performance if the party seeking it has not committed a breach. The appeals were allowed, and the lower court's decision was set aside, reinforcing the principle that specific performance can be granted in appropriate cases even for determinable contracts.
