Payment Not Proved - Many cases highlight that the plaintiff failed to establish the payment of sale consideration or advance payments, which is crucial for specific performance. For instance, in IND_HC_KLHC010406142017 and INDKAR00000039774, the courts dismissed suits due to lack of proof of payment or consideration FATHIMA vs ABDUL GAFOOR - Kerala, SRI REDDY GANGADHAR S/O S V RAMACHARI Vs SRI GOPAL S/O CHIKKAVENKATARAYAPPA - Karnataka.
Signature and Document Authenticity - Several judgments emphasize the importance of proving the genuineness of signatures on sale agreements. Courts often rely on expert evidence or signature comparison under Section 73 of the Indian Evidence Act. In cases like IND_HC_KLHC010269722004, and IND_HC_KLHC010387622015, disputes over forged signatures led to dismissal of suits for specific performance M V MURUKESH vs N A VIJAYAN ACHARI - Kerala, P V JEEVAKUMAR vs BIJU M JOHNY Advocate - P K BABU ,P K BABU - Kerala.
Specific Performance Not Granted Due to Lack of Proof - The courts consistently held that without clear evidence of execution, payment, and authenticity of documents, the plaintiff cannot succeed in claiming specific performance. Cases such as M.A. JACOB vs P.K. REVATHI - Kerala, SOMAN Vs R. KAVIRAJ - Kerala, and A. Kuppusamy VS S. Shankar Vadivel - Madras reflect that failure to prove the agreement's execution or payment leads to dismissal.
Burden of Proof and Evidence Standards - Courts stress that the burden of proving the existence of a valid agreement, payment, and signatures rests on the plaintiff. When the plaintiff fails to produce sufficient evidence or expert testimony, the suit is dismissed, as seen in M.A. JACOB vs P.K. REVATHI - Kerala and Vishnu VS Abdulgani - Karnataka.
Conclusion - In specific performance suits, proof of payment and genuine signatures are fundamental. Courts require strict compliance with evidentiary standards, and failure to prove these elements results in dismissal of the claim. The authenticity of signatures, proper documentation, and clear evidence of consideration are essential for granting specific performance.
