Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision confirming the First Appellate Court's decree for specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court found that the respondents had fulfilled their obligations under the agreement to sell, including payment of the sale consideration, and that the suit was not barred by limitation as it was filed within the permissible period. The Court emphasized that the agreement's validity was established despite the appellants' claims of forgery and limitation issues.
