24.O3.2015. lO.2 The: learned Trial Court further observed in paragraph No.12 that respondent herein - petitioner - plaintiff has made out prima facie casr: that there is a serious disputed question to be determined in the mein suit as to whether appellants - respondents - defendants were not ready and willing to perform their part of the contract even though ttLe respondent - petitioner - plaintiff was ready and willinglo -t' s/6 BRMR,J cMA.NO.633 0F 20r9 perform his part of contract.
