If a court decree orders me to pay the balance sale consideration within three months, but I miss that deadline, can I still get the property through execution of the decree?

Yes, but only if you can prove continuous readiness and willingness to perform your part of the contract. In Habban Shah v. Sheruddin [2026 INSC 451] and Jayamma case [2026 INSC 651], the Supreme Court clarified that missing a deadline or filing late does not automatically bar relief. However, if you fail to show financial capacity and genuine intent at the relevant time, the decree or claim becomes inexecutable.
