Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 14 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, in the context of specific performance of contracts. The Court held that specific performance can be granted if the contract is not determinable and the party seeking performance is ready and willing to perform their part of the contract. The judgment clarified that the mere existence of a breach does not automatically render a contract determinable, thereby upholding the enforceability of the contract in question.
