Case of Anand Narayan Shukla vs Jagat Dhari, SC\u00a0\u00a0Judgement Dated 8th<\/sup>\u00a0May 2026.<\/em>\u00a0The apex court held that a decree for specific performance does not automatically become unenforceable merely because the purchaser failed to deposit the balance sale consideration within the time stipulated in the decree. SC held that there is no automatic rescission, unless the decree itself expressly provides such consequence. The courts must examine the conduct of parties, bona fides of the decree-holder, surrounding circumstances, and whether delay can be compensated monetarily instead of mechanically terminating valuable contractual rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
