Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that equity compels a party to fulfill their contractual obligations. The Court held that the agreement to sell the property, executed by the legal heirs of Nand Lal, was valid despite the claims of Rajinder Kumar, who was a minor at the time of the agreement. The Court affirmed the finality of the decree for specific performance, ruling that the execution of the decree was lawful and that the applications for rescission of the agreement were rightly dismissed.
