Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decision granting specific performance of a contract under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, stating that time was not made the essence of the contract. The Court found that the original defendant had agreed to sell the property and received earnest money, thus establishing the plaintiff's entitlement to relief. The High Court's order setting aside the trial court's judgment was reversed, restoring the trial court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs.
