Bidyut Sarkar vs Kanchilal Pal (Dead) Through Its Lrs

The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision to grant specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, emphasizing that the plaintiff had fulfilled his obligations by paying an advance and investing in property development. The Court clarified that the agreement's cancellation clause does not negate the right to specific performance if the plaintiff has acted in reliance on the contract. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decree in favor of the plaintiff.
