Section 16(c) Specific Relief Act | Possession + Majority Payment Override Readiness & Willingness Requirement : Madras HC
Madras High Court rules that when a buyer has paid 95% of the sale consideration and is in possession of the property, the doctrine of readiness and willingness under Section 16(c) of the Specific Relief Act does not bar specific performance. The ruling clarifies that substantial compliance with payment and possession suffices for enforcing sale agreements, even if the balance is paid post-suit.
