1 - 10 of 14 (0.35 seconds)Madamsetty Satyanarayana vs G. Yellogi Rao And Two Others on 24 November, 1964
12. Sri Sivasubramanium relied upon the decision of this Court in
Satyanarayana v. Yellogi Rao [1965]2SCR221 , wherein it has been held:
Dr. Jiwan Lal & Ors vs Brij Mohan Mehra & Anr on 14 September, 1972
14. Sri Sivasubramanium then relied upon the decision in Dr. Jiwan Lai and
Ors. v. Brij Mohan Mehra and Anr. [1973]2SCR230 to show that the delay of
two years is not a ground to deny specific performance. But a perusal of
the judgment shows that there were good reasons for the plaintiff to wait
in that case because of the pendency of an appeal against the order of
requisition of the suit property. We may reiterate that the true principle
is the one stated by the Constitution Bench in ChandRani Even where time is
not of the essence of the contract, the plaintiffs must perform his part of
the contract within a reasonable time and reasonable time should be
determined by looking at all the surrounding circumstances including the
express terms of the contract and the nature of the property.
