As per case facts, the original plaintiff filed a suit for specific performance of an agreement to sell land, asserting readiness and willingness. The original defendant disputed this, claiming a ... different agreed price and the plaintiff's inability to pay. Both the Trial Court and Lower Appellate Court sided with the plaintiff, finding readiness based partly on land acquisition compensation. The original defendant appealed to the High Court, contending that the lower courts misread evidence and failed to establish the plaintiff's readiness as required by law. The question arose whether the lower courts erred in their finding of the plaintiff's readiness and willingness to perform the contract. Finally, the High Court determined that the lower courts indeed erred by misreading the evidence, concluding the plaintiff was not ready. Therefore, specific performance was denied, and the plaintiff was granted alternate relief: recovery of double the earnest money with interest.
