Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 28(1) of the Specific Relief Act, if a purchaser fails to deposit the balance sale consideration within the stipulated period, the decree for specific performance becomes inexecutable. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to set aside the executing court's order, emphasizing the necessity of compliance with the decree's terms for execution. The outcome was that the appellant's execution petition was dismissed due to non-compliance with the decree's conditions.
