Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings of the lower courts regarding the dismissal of the appellant's suit for specific performance of a contract, emphasizing that the findings were not perverse or illegal. The Court reiterated that the relief of specific performance is discretionary and must meet statutory requirements under Sections 16(c), 20, 21, 22, and 23 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to demonstrate any merit in challenging the lower courts' decisions.
