Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decree for specific performance of an agreement under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, affirming that the plaintiff had fulfilled his obligations by paying an advance and was ready to pay the balance. The Court found that the defendants breached the agreement by selling the property to a third party before the stipulated time. The High Court's decision to set aside the earlier judgment was reversed, and the original decree in favor of the plaintiff was restored.
