VEERAYEE AMMAL vs SEENI AMMAL — C.A. No. 7185/1997

Case Summary: Veerayee Ammal v. Seeni Ammal The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's judgment and allowed Veerayee Ammal's appeal for specific performance of a land sale contract. The High Court had improperly set aside concurrent findings of fact made by the trial court and first appellate court, which had found that Ammal was always ready and willing to perform the contract and filed suit within a reasonable time (November 1980, following the agreement dated March 1980). The Court held that the High Court's formulated "substantial question of law" was actually a question of fact and could not be used to disturb concurrent factual findings, violating Section 100 CPC principles.
