Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court partly allowed the second appeal S.A No.1282 of 2008, confirming the appellate court's order in A.S. No.39 of 2004 which granted specific performance of a sale agreement dated 07.06.1993 under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court held that the plaintiff was entitled to specific performance as he had fulfilled his obligations under the agreement, but directed him to pay additional sale consideration amounting to twice the original amount. The judgment emphasized the necessity of demonstrating readiness and willingness to perform the contract continuously, as required under the Specific Relief Act.
