Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a family arrangement and the enforceability of a sale agreement under specific performance principles. The Court held that the sale deed executed by the first defendant in favor of the second defendant was void due to violation of Clause (5) of the family agreement dated 31.03.1982, which required written concurrence for any sale. The Court upheld the trial court's decision that the plaintiff was entitled to specific performance of the agreement and declared the sale deed null and void, reinforcing the importance of adhering to family arrangements in property transactions.
