The ... appellant, Gobind Ram, had agreed to sell the disputed property to the respondent, Gian Chand, but failed to execute the sale deed. The respondent filed a suit for specific performance, which was decreed by the Trial Court. The High Court dismissed the appellant's appeal but directed the respondent to deposit an additional sum to mitigate the appellant's hardship, which the respondent complied with.
