SC held that the buyer's conduct in encashing refund drafts demonstrated unwillingness to perform the agreement to sell. The seller's prior cancellation letter constituted a jurisdictional fact precluding specific performance. The buyer failed to establish readiness and willingness to execute the contract, thereby disentitling herself from the equitable relief. The court emphasized that absent a declaratory challenge to the agreement's termination, the specific performance suit remains non-maintainable. Consequently, the appellant's appeal was allowed, effectively preventing specific performance and upholding the seller's right to cancel the agreement based on the buyer's unequivocal actions.
