Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the judgments of the lower courts affirming the specific performance of an agreement under Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the appellant had executed a genuine agreement to sell his share of land to the respondent, who had paid a substantial part of the sale consideration. The Court held that the appellant's claims of forgery and lack of intent to sell were unsubstantiated, thereby affirming the lower courts' decisions in favor of the respondent.
