Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined a suit for specific performance of an unregistered agreement to sell agricultural land. The lower courts had dismissed the suit but the appellate courts reversed this decision, upholding the enforceability of the agreement despite its unregistered status, given the circumstances and conduct of the parties. The court emphasized the importance of time being the essence of the contract and the extensions granted. The judgment ultimately affirmed the rights of the plaintiff to seek specific performance or refund, reinforcing principles related to agreements to sell land.
