Issues:
- Interpretation of agreements regarding the sale of property and cultivating rights - Jurisdiction of the Court to order specific performance of agreements Interpretation of Agreements: The case involved an appeal from a decree that reversed the decision of the District Judge and decreed the plaintiff's suit. The plaintiff, Mt. Jankibai, had agreed to buy a share of land from Seth Jiwandas, but due to financial constraints, Seth Sobhagmal took over the purchase and agreed to convey the share to the plaintiff later. The key issue was whether the agreements between Mt. Jankibai and Sobhagmal covered the cultivating rights in the sir land. The Court analyzed the agreements and the sale deed, concluding that Sobhagmal did agree to transfer the cultivating rights along with the share in the village. The Court found that there was an implied covenant on Sobhagmal's part to effect the transfer, including obtaining necessary sanctions. Jurisdiction for Specific Performance: The appellants argued that the Court could not order specific performance as it would require an application to the Revenue Officer for sanction, claiming lack of jurisdiction. The Court referred to the relevant provisions of the Central Provinces Tenancy Act and its successor Act. The Court held that there was an implied covenant in the agreements for Sobhagmal to make the necessary application for transferring cultivating rights. The Court found that the Specific Relief Act provided jurisdiction for the decree and that the terms of Order 21, Rule 32 (4) were sufficient for enforcement. The Court dismissed the appeal, upholding the decree for specific performance, and did not address the appellants' argument on damages. This judgment clarified the interpretation of agreements in property transactions and affirmed the Court's jurisdiction to order specific performance, emphasizing implied covenants and legal provisions governing such transactions.
