Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the second appeals regarding a suit for specific performance of an agreement to sell under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court established that a decree for specific performance can be granted if the agreement is valid and enforceable, and the plaintiffs had fulfilled their part by paying a substantial amount. The Court affirmed the lower courts' findings that the defendants had entered into a valid agreement and were obligated to execute the sale deed.
