That the sale transaction was required to be completed after the revenue records in respect of the suit property was transferred in the name of the Defendants. That although the Plaintiffs were ready and willing to complete the sale transaction, the Defendants stated that the revenue records of the property have not been transferred in their favour and due to pendency of certain litigations, were postponing the execution of the Sale Deed.
