casestatus.in Summary
In suits for specific performance where a decree has attained finality, courts retain equitable jurisdiction to modulate the consideration payable under an agreement to sell, where significant time elapsed between execution and enforcement has caused a material appreciation in property value. This principle, analysed on casestatus.in, reflects the court's power to do complete justice under Article 142 by directing enhanced payment as a condition precedent to execution of the sale deed, without disturbing the underlying decree.
