Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled on the specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that a party must be ready and willing to perform their part of the contract. The Court held that the plaintiff's failure to appear with the balance sale consideration on the agreed date constituted a breach, justifying the dismissal of the suit for specific performance. The Court affirmed the lower court's decision, stating that the defendants had fulfilled their obligations under the agreement.
