Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of specific performance of a sale agreement under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, particularly Section 10, which allows for specific performance when the contract is enforceable. The Court held that the plaintiff, having taken possession and constructed a building on the property, was entitled to specific performance as the defendant failed to execute the sale deed despite receiving part payment. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision in favor of the plaintiff.
