Specific Performance Upheld Despite Unregistered Agreement & Foreign Vendor | Conduct & Limitation Override Formal Defects : Calcutta HC
The Calcutta High Court enforced a 1987 property sale agreement despite non-registration and the vendor’s foreign status, ruling that specific performance is viable when parties act in reliance and no timely plea of avoidance is raised. Financial readiness is inferred from conduct, not cash deposits, reshaping how courts assess readiness under the Specific Relief Act.
