In Brief
The defendants appealed against a High Court order affirming a decree for specific performance of two agreements to sell a 1/12th land share for Rs. 10,000. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that an agreement to sell does not create an interest in land and is not prohibited by the Maharashtra Co-operative Society Act. The Court affirmed the appellate court's findings on the buyer's readiness and willingness, and rejected new pleas (including under Section 31 of the Fragmentation Act) raised for the first time in the Supreme Court without proper foundation in earlier pleadings.", "cited_cases">[]
