VENUTHURUMALLI GOPALA KRISHNA RAO, J.
This second appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure (“C.P.C.” for short) is filed aggrieved against the Judgment and decree, dated 26.09.2022 in A.S.No.39 of 2018, on the file of the VI Additional District Judge, Ananthapuramu at Gooty (“First Appellate Court” for short), confirming the Judgment and decree, dated 27.03.2018 in O.S.No.74 of 2011, on the file of Junior Civil Judge, Guntakal (“Trial Court” for short).

A second appeal under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure requires the establishment of a substantial question of law, which was not present in this case.
The plaintiff must demonstrate readiness and willingness to perform a contract for specific performance, which was not established in this case.
The court affirmed that specific performance is a discretionary remedy, requiring the plaintiff to prove the validity of the contract and readiness to perform.
A sale agreement signed solely by the vendor is enforceable, and no fixed date of performance in an agreement allows suit filing within three years of notice of refusal.
The ruling emphasizes the necessity of fulfilling contractual obligations for specific performance and the implications of non-compliance by the seller.
