In Brief
In this civil appeal, the appellant (defendant in the original suit) challenged the High Court's decree granting specific performance of an agreement to sell property. The core dispute concerned whether the appellant had proven financial capacity to perform the contract. The High Court rejected the appellant's self-serving affidavit statements as insufficient proof. The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' concurrent findings of fact, holding that under Article 136 jurisdiction, it does not re-appreciate evidence or disturb factual findings unless illegality is shown. The appeals were accordingly dismissed, affirming the decree for specific performance.">
