Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, despite the original owner's sale of the land to third parties. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff, Gurbachan Kaur, had a valid contract with Surjan Singh, which was enforceable against subsequent purchasers. The appeal by the legal representatives of the defendants was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decree in favor of the plaintiff.
