Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's dismissal of two intra-court appeals concerning a dispute over an agreement to sell agricultural land under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court emphasized that specific performance can only be granted if the contract is enforceable and the plaintiff is ready to perform their part, which was established in this case. The Court affirmed that the appellant's failure to comply with the agreement justified the dismissal of the appeals, leading to the conclusion that the agreement was not enforceable as claimed by the appellant.
