The Supreme Court held that the High Court's modification of the decree of specific performance into a monetary compensation of Rs.90,000 under the Land Acquisition Act was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the execution of the agreement to sell was undisputed and the defendants had received full consideration, thus the decree of specific performance should have been upheld. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the original decree of specific performance in favor of the plaintiff.
