Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 25 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that specific performance of a contract can be enforced only when the terms are clear and unambiguous. The Court held that the plaintiff must demonstrate readiness and willingness to perform their part of the contract, and failure to do so can lead to dismissal of the suit. The judgment clarified the conditions under which specific performance can be denied, reinforcing the principle that equitable relief is contingent upon the conduct of the parties involved.
