of <h1>Court upholds validity of sale-deed over prior agreement, dismisses specific performance claim. Further evidence requested.</h1> <h3>(Saiyad) Abdullah Versus Ahmad and Ors.</h3> The court upheld the validity of the sale-deed executed by the defendant in favor of other parties, ruling that the defendant had entered into an ... - Issues:1. Specific performance of a contract of sale and declaration of nullity of a sale-deed.2. Competency to challenge the validity of a sale-deed.3. Priority of agreements in a contract of sale.4. Assignment of a contract of sale and enforcement of specific performance.5. Claiming benefits of a contract by a third party.Detailed Analysis:1. The plaintiff appealed for specific performance of a contract of sale and a declaration that a sale-deed executed by the defendant in favor of other parties is null and void. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant sold the property to others despite a prior agreement with the plaintiff.2. The defendants contested the suit, claiming that a previous agreement existed with other parties before the plaintiff's agreement. They argued that the plaintiff induced the defendant into the contract through fraud. The lower courts decreed the claim for a portion of the share but dismissed the suit regarding the share sold to the other parties.3. The courts analyzed the sequence of agreements and found that the defendant had entered into an agreement with other parties before the plaintiff's agreement. The courts concluded that the sale to the other parties was valid based on the prior agreement, even though the share sold was less than originally agreed upon.4. The plaintiff argued on appeal that the subsequent sale-deed differed from the prior agreement, indicating an abandonment of the initial agreement. The defendants contended that the subsequent sale was an assignment of rights under the prior agreement. The courts discussed the assignment of contracts and the enforceability of specific performance.5. The courts found that one of the purchasers was not a party to the prior agreement and needed to determine if that party had notice of the plaintiff's agreement. The courts requested a finding on whether the purchaser was a transferee for value in good faith without notice of the plaintiff's contract. Evidence was allowed to be presented on this point for further consideration.
