Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 14 of the Specific Relief Act, emphasizing that specific performance of a contract can be enforced unless the contract is voidable or has been rescinded. The Court held that the mere fact that a party has not performed its obligations does not automatically entitle the other party to seek rescission. The judgment clarified the conditions under which specific performance can be granted, reinforcing the principle that equity favors the performance of contracts.
