THE GOVT. OF INDIA vs P. VENKATESH

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 25 of the Specific Relief Act, emphasizing that specific performance of a contract can be enforced only when the terms are clear and unambiguous. The Court held that mere non-performance does not automatically entitle a party to seek specific performance unless they demonstrate readiness and willingness to perform their part of the contract. The judgment clarified that the burden of proof lies on the party seeking specific performance to establish their case satisfactorily.
