The suit is<\/p>\n<p>one for specific performance of a contract<\/p>\n<p>with  damages.       It     is    the     case   of  the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff that the defendant and plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>had entered into an agreement under Ext.A1<\/p>\n<p>whereby the defendant has agreed to sell the<\/p>\n<p>property to the plaintiff for a consideration<\/p>\n<p>of  Rs.5,000\/-   per      cent      and     towards  the<\/p>\n<p>purchase  price     had       paid     an     amount  of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.2,000\/-.  It is also stated that as usual<\/p>\n<p>the seller has to satisfy the buyer regarding<\/p>\n<p>his title etc. and to register the document.<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is contended by the plaintiff that the<\/p>\n<p>property       was measured   and there  was  an<\/p>\n<p>agreement between the parties that on 27.4.94<\/p>\n<p>the document can be registered.       But to the<\/p>\n<p>utter dismay of the plaintiff the defendant<\/p>\n<p>had demolished the stone construction around<\/p>\n<p>the well and thereby had caused damages of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.15,000\/-.        It  is   submitted that  the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff is always ready and willing to<\/p>\n<p>perform his part of his contract and hence<\/p>\n<p>the suit.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2. On the other hand the defendant would<\/p>\n<p>contend       it  is true    that there  was an<\/p>\n<p>agreement       to sell and   the  defendant was<\/p>\n<p>always ready and willing to perform his part<\/p>\n<p>of his contract provided the plaintiff was<\/p>\n<p>prepared to pay the amount for the actual<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>extent available as agreed to between the<\/p>\n<p>parties.        The plaintiff did not respond to<\/p>\n<p>the same and therefore he is not prepared to<\/p>\n<p>perform his part of his contract.<\/p>\n<p>      3. On     a  consideration   of  the  entire<\/p>\n<p>materials the court below granted a decree<\/p>\n<p>for realisation of the amount and damages but<\/p>\n<p>refused       to  grant  a   decree  for  specific<\/p>\n<p>performance of the contract.        It is against<\/p>\n<p>that decision the plaintiff has come up in<\/p>\n<p>appeal with a prayer to grant a decree for<\/p>\n<p>specific performance.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4. Under S.20 of the Specific Relief Act<\/p>\n<p>the      jurisdiction       to   decree   specific<\/p>\n<p>performance is discretionary and the Court is<\/p>\n<p>not bound to grant such relief merely because<\/p>\n<p>it is lawful to do so.           There is also a<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>caution that the discretion of the Court is<\/p>\n<p>not to be exercised arbitrarily but should be<\/p>\n<p>on sound and reasonable judicial principles.<\/p>\n<p>The Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the decision<\/p>\n<p>reported in <a href=\"\/doc\/1324010\/\">Bal Krishna v. Bhagwan Das<\/a> 2008<\/p>\n<p>(12) SCC page 145 in paragraph 14 has laid<\/p>\n<p>down the principles to be followed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>          &#8220;It is also settled by various<\/p>\n<p>          decisions of this Court that by<\/p>\n<p>          virtue of S.20 of the Act, the<\/p>\n<p>          relief for specific performance<\/p>\n<p>          lies in the discretion of the<\/p>\n<p>          Court and the Court is not bound<\/p>\n<p>          to    grant  such   relief merely<\/p>\n<p>          because it is lawful to do so.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>          The exercise of the discretion<\/p>\n<p>          to    order specific   performance<\/p>\n<p>          would    require  the   Court  to<\/p>\n<p>          satisfy     itself     that   the<\/p>\n<p>          circumstances are such that it<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          is equitable to grant decree for<\/p>\n<p>          specific    performance  of   the<\/p>\n<p>          contract.    While exercising the<\/p>\n<p>          discretion, the Court would take<\/p>\n<p>          into       consideration      the<\/p>\n<p>          circumstances of the case, the<\/p>\n<p>          conduct   of   the  parties,  and<\/p>\n<p>          their respective interests under<\/p>\n<p>          the    contract.     No  specific<\/p>\n<p>          performance    of   a   contract,<\/p>\n<p>          though it is not vitiated by<\/p>\n<p>          fraud or mis-representation, can<\/p>\n<p>          be granted if it would give an<\/p>\n<p>          unfair     advantage    to    the<\/p>\n<p>          plaintiff     and    where    the<\/p>\n<p>          performance    of   the  contract<\/p>\n<p>          would involve some hardship on<\/p>\n<p>          the defendant, which he did not<\/p>\n<p>          foresee.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>      5. The intention of the parties and the<\/p>\n<p>conduct        of the   parties   are  absolutely<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>relevant in deciding the question whether a<\/p>\n<p>discretionary relief has to be exercised in<\/p>\n<p>favour of the plaintiff.       A reading of Ext.A1<\/p>\n<p>agreement would convincingly establish that<\/p>\n<p>the parties have entered into an agreement<\/p>\n<p>whereby       it  is  decided   to   purchase  the<\/p>\n<p>property available at the rate of Rs.5,000\/-<\/p>\n<p>per cent and it is towards the same an<\/p>\n<p>advance amount of Rs.2,000\/- is paid.        It is<\/p>\n<p>also stated in the agreement that if the<\/p>\n<p>defendant is committing the breach of the<\/p>\n<p>contract the plaintiff is entitled to get<\/p>\n<p>refund      of   the  advance  amount   paid  plus<\/p>\n<p>another       Rs.2,000\/-  as   damages.     Really<\/p>\n<p>speaking there is no terms in the agreement<\/p>\n<p>regarding the enforceability of the contract.<\/p>\n<p>But     S.20(4)    of  the   Specific  Relief  Act<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>specifically states that just because there<\/p>\n<p>is no such clause specific performance need<\/p>\n<p>not be declined.        So the main criteria is<\/p>\n<p>regarding the other aspects mentioned.      The<\/p>\n<p>non-inclusion of a clause may be of some<\/p>\n<p>relevance in determining the intention of the<\/p>\n<p>parties. The plaintiff has never been put<\/p>\n<p>into possession of the property.      According<\/p>\n<p>to the plaintiff the parties went to measure<\/p>\n<p>the property and found the extent and it was<\/p>\n<p>decided       on 27.4.94  to  have the document<\/p>\n<p>registered.        But   according to  him  the<\/p>\n<p>defendant immediately had committed breach by<\/p>\n<p>demolishing the stone construction around the<\/p>\n<p>well and had also lowered the land.       So he<\/p>\n<p>had sent a lawyer notice for the same also<\/p>\n<p>with the prayer for specific performance of<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -8-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the contract. The defendant had denied the<\/p>\n<p>demolition of the wall as well as the other<\/p>\n<p>allegations and had categorically stated in<\/p>\n<p>the reply notice that if the plaintiff is<\/p>\n<p>prepared       to give the   value of  the land<\/p>\n<p>available he has no objection in executing<\/p>\n<p>the document.      This reply was sent on 2.5.94<\/p>\n<p>and it is produced by the plaintiff     himself.<\/p>\n<p>But we do not know for the reasons best known<\/p>\n<p>to the plaintiff, instead of getting ready<\/p>\n<p>for the execution of the document on payment<\/p>\n<p>of balance consideration he institutes a suit<\/p>\n<p>for specific performance on 30.5.94 with a<\/p>\n<p>prayer for damages.      So it has to be stated<\/p>\n<p>that the plaintiff was not totally ready and<\/p>\n<p>willing to perform his part of his contract<\/p>\n<p>but he wanted some thing more in the form of<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -9-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>damages.        It has been spoken to by the<\/p>\n<p>defendant that the intention to sell the<\/p>\n<p>property was to raise funds to treat his son<\/p>\n<p>who was seriously ailing and that child died<\/p>\n<p>on 6.7.94(proved by Ext.B1) and thereafter<\/p>\n<p>the     necessity   had  vanished to  sell  the<\/p>\n<p>property.       When a property is sought to be<\/p>\n<p>sold for a specific purpose and there was an<\/p>\n<p>explicit declaration to the effect that the<\/p>\n<p>defendant       was  prepared  to  execute  the<\/p>\n<p>document       in favour  of  the plaintiff  as<\/p>\n<p>stipulated      in  the  agreement it  was  the<\/p>\n<p>imperative duty of the plaintiff to comply<\/p>\n<p>with the same and not to rush to the Court<\/p>\n<p>for specific performance of the contract.<\/p>\n<p>Since the document was not executed, the<\/p>\n<p>balance consideration was not paid and the<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           -10-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>purpose for which the property was agreed to<\/p>\n<p>be sold vanished on the death of the son on<\/p>\n<p>6.7.94.        So it has to be stated that the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff       by  his  conduct   wanted  to have<\/p>\n<p>unfair advantage and had by his conduct put<\/p>\n<p>the defendant into hardship and his further<\/p>\n<p>conduct that he was no more serious about<\/p>\n<p>getting       the  document   executed  within the<\/p>\n<p>stipulated time etc.            will show that the<\/p>\n<p>judicial discretion cannot be used in favour<\/p>\n<p>of the plaintiff for granting a decree for<\/p>\n<p>specific performance.          The trial court has<\/p>\n<p>considered those aspects and had refused to<\/p>\n<p>grant a decree for specific performance but<\/p>\n<p>has ordered refund of the advance amount with<\/p>\n<p>damages of Rs.2,000\/- as per the statement in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A1.       Therefore I do not find any merit in<\/p>\n<p>A.S. 328 OF 2001<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                        -11-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>this     appeal   and therefore   the   same  is<\/p>\n<p>dismissed but under the circumstances without<\/p>\n<p>any order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                         M.N.
