Judicial Analysis

None of the cases explicitly indicate that they have been overruled, reversed, or treated as bad law. The list does not contain language such as "overruled," "reversed," "criticized," or "disapproved" that typically signals a negative treatment or invalidation of a precedent. Therefore, based solely on the provided information, there are no cases that can be conclusively identified as bad law.

[Followed / Affirmed]

None explicitly indicated. The descriptions suggest these are considered good law or at least unchallenged within the context provided.

[Distinguished / Clarified / Applied]

Madhukar Nivrutti Jagtap VS Pramilabai Chandulal Parandekar - 2019 0 Supreme(SC) 850: This case discusses principles regarding the nature of documents, specific performance, and the court’s approach to evidence and transactions post-filing. It appears to be a guiding decision on how courts should interpret documents and handle specific performance suits, likely followed or applied in subsequent cases, but no explicit indication of treatment is given.

Boramma VS Krishna Gowda - 2000 7 Supreme 80: Emphasizes proper appreciation of evidence and consistency in witness testimony. Likely used as a standard reference, but no indication of subsequent treatment.

Azhar Sultana VS B. Rajamani - 2009 2 Supreme 262: States that continuous readiness and willingness are conditions precedent for relief under Section 16(c). This appears to be a legal principle that would be followed in relevant cases.

Swarnam Ramachandran VS Aravacode Chakungal Jayapalan. - 2004 6 Supreme 385: Clarifies that time is presumed not to be of the essence in contracts relating to immovable property unless proven otherwise. This is a standard legal presumption.

A. Kanthamani VS Nasreen Ahmed - 2017 0 Supreme(SC) 213: Discusses the requirements for a suit for specific relief under Section 16(c), referencing the importance of proof of readiness and willingness. It also notes that the Supreme Court is generally reluctant to reappreciate evidence in second appeals, indicating adherence to lower courts' findings unless there is perversity.

Jagan Singh VS Dhanwanti - 2012 1 Supreme 262: Provides legal principles regarding property rights of widows, lis pendens, and the effect of appeals on suits, which are likely considered settled law.

All cases seem to be presented as established legal principles or observations rather than as decisions that have been overruled or criticized. Without explicit language indicating treatment or subsequent judicial treatment, their current status remains uncertain; they are assumed to be valid unless contradicted elsewhere.

The list does not specify whether these cases have been questioned, distinguished, or overruled in later decisions, so their treatment remains ambiguous based solely on this data.
