Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal concerning a civil suit for specific performance of an agreement for the sale of agricultural land under the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant specific performance, emphasizing that the plaintiffs had the right to seek this remedy despite the trial court's initial denial. The Court clarified that the enhanced sale consideration was justified based on the current market value of the land, thereby affirming the High Court's decree.
