In Brief
A buyer purchased most of a school property but one owner refused to execute a final sale deed for her share. The buyer sued for specific performance. Both lower courts dismissed the suit citing limitation and lack of readiness to perform. The Supreme Court reversed this, holding that the owner's ratifying affidavit in April 2013 was the key event—limitation started from that date, not earlier. The owner had expressly consented to the property transfer in that affidavit. The buyer demonstrated readiness to pay the balance. The Court remanded the case to determine the remaining amount owed and execute the sale deed.
