AKBAR ALI vs VINOD KHANNA — C.A. No. 73 - 74/1999

The Supreme Court dismissed Akbar Ali's appeal against the specific performance decree for a 3.40-acre land sale agreement executed on 8.4.1986 for Rs. 1 lakh. Ali claimed he was defrauded into signing an agreement to sell instead of a loan security document for Rs. 1,000, and later argued the agreement was unconscionable given the land's actual value (Rs. 20+ lakhs). The Court upheld the trial and appellate courts' findings, rejecting Ali's unconscionability plea as it was neither pleaded, framed as an issue, nor supported by evidence in the trial court proceedings.
