ZARINA SIDDIQUI vs A.RAMALINGAM @ R.AMARNATHAN

The Supreme Court held that the appellant-plaintiff was entitled to specific performance of the agreement to sell under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, as the respondent-defendant had admitted ownership of the property and the existence of the agreement. The Court found that the plaintiff had fulfilled his obligations by paying the sale consideration and was ready to perform his part of the contract, while the defendants failed to take necessary steps to obtain permission under the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act. The High Court's decision to set aside the trial court's decree was reversed, and the appeal was allowed, directing the execution of the sale deed.
