Specific Relief Act 1963- Specific Performance Suit- Supreme Court set aside the Kerala High Court and trial court decisions and granted specific performance in favor of appellant and held : Suit was instituted within the prescribed period of limitation, reckoned from the date of the affidavit. The said affidavit not only ratifies the acts performed by the power of attorney holder Shri Muhammed Rafi Thangal but also records the unequivocal no-objection of the executant–defendant to transfer the ownership of the property in favour of the plaintiff-appellant. (Para 37)
