Case of Annamalai vs Vasanthi, SC Judgement Dated 29th October 2025.The apex court held that once the vendors accepted Rs 1,95,000 after the expiry of the six-month period, their right to forfeit for delay stood waived and the contract remained alive. This pronouncement reinstates the standard that contracts for sale of immovable property are not automatically terminated by lapse of time, especially where the parties conduct reflects otherwise. SC ordered specific performance, directed refund and restored the first appellate court decree for execution of the sale deed in favour of the applicant.
