Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appeal regarding specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the appellant failed to prove the non-existence of the agreement dated 21.06.2004, and that the respondent was ready and willing to perform his part of the contract. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, emphasizing the necessity of fulfilling contractual obligations when one party has acted in reliance on the agreement.
