Ex-parte decree for specific performance may be rescinded if balance consideration is deposited after unreasonable delay | Section 28 Specific Relief Act : Madras HC
A Madras High Court second appeal confirmed that an ex-parte decree under Section 28 of the Specific Relief Act can be set aside when the balance sale price is deposited after an unreasonable delay. The decision upholds the 1988 sale deed and signals that delayed payments defeat specific-performance orders, affecting buyers and sellers in property deals.
