Section 10 Contract Act | Oral Land Sale Agreement Rejected for Vagueness, Delayed Payment & Lack of Documentary Proof : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court denied specific performance of an oral land sale agreement, ruling that vague testimony, uncorroborated payment claims, and absence of written terms fatally undermine the certainty required under Section 10 of the Indian Contract Act. This reinforces that oral contracts in high-value property transactions demand concrete, contemporaneous evidence - not just witness accounts - to be enforceable, impacting buyers, developers, and litigants relying on informal deals.
