The Supreme Court, in a property dispute case, observed that continuous readiness and willingness on the part of the plaintiff is a condition precedent for grant of the relief of specific performance.
The SC added that there is a distinction between readiness and willingness to perform the contract and both ingredients are necessary for the relief of specific performance. While readiness means the capacity of the plaintiff to perform the contract which would include his financial position, willingness relates to the conduct of the plaintiff.
