Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in a case where a suit for specific performance was dismissed due to the respondents' lack of title, the respondents are obligated to refund the amount paid by the appellant for the property. The Court mandated that the refund be made within two months, along with simple interest at the rate of 9%. The appeal was allowed, and no costs were awarded.
