Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled on the principles of specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, emphasizing that equity compels a party to fulfill their contractual obligations. The Court held that the agreement to sell the property was valid despite the appellant's claim of being a minor at the time of the agreement, as he had not pursued his legal remedies in a timely manner. The Court upheld the ex parte decree for specific performance in favor of the respondent, Kuldeep Singh, thereby affirming the lower court's decision.
