In the context of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, which of the following contracts can be specifically enforced?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 (as substituted with effect from 1 October 2018), specific performance shall be enforced subject to section 11(2), section 14 and section 16, so a contract for which compensation is not an adequate relief can be specifically enforced. Section 14 bars a contract involving the continuous performance of a duty which the court cannot supervise (clause (b)) and a contract which is in its nature determinable (clause (d)). (Formerly, section 10 allowed specific performance in the court's discretion where compensation was not adequate relief.)
