Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had granted specific performance of a land sale agreement. The Court found that the agreement was affected by subsequent land acquisition proceedings initiated by the State Government, which rendered the contract unenforceable. The judgment emphasizes the importance of considering statutory provisions that may impact contractual obligations.
