Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the admissibility of documents in a suit for specific performance under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court held that the plaintiff must establish the existence of a valid contract and the readiness to perform his part of the contract to seek specific performance. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the documents presented by the plaintiff were inadmissible due to lack of proper execution and registration as required under the law.
