Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of territorial jurisdiction in specific performance cases, affirming that the Delhi High Court had jurisdiction to entertain the suit under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The Court held that the existence of a binding contract, despite the defendants' claims of it being merely a letter of intent, was sufficient to establish jurisdiction. The outcome was the dismissal of the defendants' objections regarding jurisdiction, allowing the plaintiff's suit for specific performance to proceed.
