Orders
FERRODOUS ESTATES (PVT) LTD. v. P. GOPIRATHNAM & ORS. - Summary Case Citation: C.A. No. 013516/2015, Supreme Court of India Court Decision: The Supreme Court allowed the appellant's appeal, restored the trial court's decree for specific performance, and required the appellant to pay Rs. 1.25 crores to the respondents within eight weeks. The Division Bench's reversal on ground of the Urban Land Ceiling Act violation was set aside. Key Reasoning: The Court held that the agreement's clause 4 explicitly required the *vendors* (not the purchaser) to obtain Urban Land Ceiling permission. Since this condition was part of the agreement itself, enforcing it did not violate land ceiling laws. The defendants' failure to obtain permission constituted breach, not a bar to specific performance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
