Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's judgment which had dismissed the plaintiff's suit for specific performance of an agreement of sale under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the High Court erred in relying solely on expert opinion regarding the genuineness of the signature, without adequately considering the credible testimonies of attesting witnesses. The Court reinstated the Trial Court's decree, emphasizing the importance of corroborative evidence in contract disputes.
