As per case facts, defendants entered into an agreement to sell property to the plaintiff, receiving advance payments. Despite a time extension, defendants allegedly failed to measure the land or ... execute the sale deed, prompting the plaintiff to seek specific performance or a refund with interest and a charge on the property. The Trial Court decreed the suit, leading to the defendants' appeal. The question arose whether the plaintiff was ready and willing to perform, if time was of the essence, and the admissibility of unregistered agreements. Finally, the High Court confirmed that valid contracts existed, the plaintiff was ready and willing, demonstrated by depositing funds before the written statement, and unregistered agreements are admissible as contracts under the Registration Act's proviso.
