The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's judgment regarding a specific performance case. The court upheld the concurrent findings of the lower courts, stating that the petitioner had performed his obligations under the agreement to sell. The court noted that the timely payment of amounts was crucial, and the actions of the respondents indicated that they did not treat the stipulated time as essential. The court concluded that the petitioners had not established a case for specific performance relief, and thus, the appeal was dismissed. |
| Summary |
This case revolves around a petition for leave to appeal concerning the Specific Relief Act and the performance of a contract to sell land. The Supreme Court of Pakistan examined the facts where the respondent, Mirza Muhammad Anwar Beg, sought specific performance of an agreement to sell land that was not executed by the petitioners despite payments made. The court determined that the concurrent findings of the lower courts, which ruled that the respondent had fulfilled his obligations under the contract, were correct. The judgment emphasized the importance of timely payments and the behavior of the parties involved in the contract. The court's decision reinforces the principle that the essence of time in contractual agreements must be respected. The final ruling dismissed the leave to appeal, affirming the lower courts' decisions and underscoring the specific performance of contractual obligations.
