( 1 ) THIS appeal has been preferred against the judgment and decree passed by Fourth Additional District Judge, Agra. The lower Court has decreed the suit of the respondents for specific performance of the contract. The defendant No. 1 has been directed to execute a sale-deed within a period of three months after receiving the amount of sale consideration and rent up to 31st October, 1974-75 as is disclosed in the compromise entered into between the parties.
