In Brief
PA Group and RA Group settled a family dispute via consent decree, dividing 15 apartments from a Worli property development: 8 to PA Group, 7 to RA Group. The parties also agreed to execute supplemental consent terms resolving disputes over other joint holdings. RA Group refused to counter-sign PA Group's allotment letter (Annexure E), claiming supplemental terms were a precondition. The High Court dismissed PA Group's execution petition. The Supreme Court held that while supplemental terms must be executed, partial enforcement of a consent decree is impermissible. Both parties must fully comply. RA Group must counter-sign the allotment letter within two weeks, but PA Group cannot sell those apartments until supplemental terms are finalized. Both parties directed to execute supplemental terms within four months.
