Specific Performance Barred for Illegal Contracts | Fraud Claim Dismissed but Refund with 10% Interest Upheld : Gauhati HC
Gauhati HC rules that a plaintiff cannot seek damages for fraud while simultaneously demanding specific performance of an illegal agreement. The court upheld a refund of Rs. 12,00,000 with 10% annual interest from the payment date but dismissed claims for lost income and mental agony, reinforcing the principle that illegality voids equitable remedies.
