Philomina v. Abdul Rahiman
Case brief
What is this about?
In a civil revision petition concerning specific performance, the Kerala High Court allowed it by setting aside an order that awarded costs for the entire sale consideration. The court directed the lower court to limit costs proportionate to the decree for return of advance since the suit was decreed only for that relief.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order is set aside; the court below is directed to trim down the costs proportionate to the decree for return of advance. The petition is disposed of.
