Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition, affirming the concurrent decisions of the lower courts regarding a suit for specific performance of an agreement to sell dated 16.3.1993. The Court noted that the defendants had absented themselves during the trial, leading to an ex-parte decree on 24.4.1996, which was not set aside by the lower courts. The Court found no substantial questions of law arising from the case, thus upholding the lower courts' findings.
