    Case Summary: AS/9/2011 Court Decision: The Madras High Court dismissed the appellant's (Danton Baskaran's) appeal and civil revision petition challenging the trial court's rejection of his specific performance claim for a property sale agreement with Banumathi (deceased). Key Reasoning: The court upheld the trial court's findings that: (1) the suit under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act was barred by the six-month limitation period, as the plaint was filed on 26.10.2007, over six months after alleged dispossession on 26.03.2007; and (2) the appellant failed to demonstrate "readiness and willingness" to perform the contract, having raised doubts about the property's extent, never deposited the balance consideration, and filed an earlier injunction suit without seeking specific performance relief.
