In Brief
The seller agreed to sell agricultural land to the buyer for Rs 2,45,000 under an agreement dated 30 December 1985, with partial payment of Rs 55,000. The buyer claimed the seller failed to execute the sale deed despite repeated demands. The trial court and High Court found the seller had not performed her contractual obligations (not measuring the land or providing requisite documents) and that the buyer was always ready and willing to pay. The Supreme Court upheld the decree for specific performance, holding that concurrent findings of fact are binding and that the later source of funds for the buyer's deposit does not negate his earlier willingness to pay. The seller's hardship plea was rejected as it was not raised in the written statement.",
