Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision in Regular First Appeal No. 28 of 2019, which had quashed the trial court's decree for specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court held that the appellant had established a valid agreement for sale with the deceased owner, and the refusal of the respondents to execute the sale deed constituted a breach of contract. The Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's judgment, affirming the appellant's entitlement to specific performance and possession of the suit property.
