Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, a contract can be enforced if it is not determinable and the party seeking enforcement has performed their part of the contract. The Court emphasized that specific performance is a discretionary remedy and should be granted unless there are valid reasons against it. The appeal was allowed, and the lower court's decision was set aside, directing specific performance of the contract.
