SAHADEVA GRAMANI(DEAD) BY LRS. vs PERUMAL GRAMANI . — C.A. No. 6624/1999

Case Summary: Sahadeva Gramani v. Perumal Gramani (C.A. No. 6624/1999) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on March 3, 2005. The Court upheld the High Court's reversal of the trial court's decree, rejecting the appellant's claim for specific performance of a 1974 sale agreement. The Court found the vendee was a bona fide purchaser for valuable consideration without notice of the prior agreement, and that granting specific performance would be inequitable under Section 20 of the Specific Relief Act. Key Finding: The appellant (mortgagee) sought to enforce an agreement to sell property executed in 1974, but the vendor sold the property to a third party in 1979 for Rs. 3,000. The Court determined no evidence showed the vendee knew of the prior agreement and therefore refused specific performance relief.
