Question and options
The Specific Relief Act, 1963 uses an expression it does not define. Under section 2(e), which Act supplies its meaning if the expression is defined there?
The General Clauses Act, 1897
The Indian Contract Act, 1872
The Transfer of Property Act, 1882
The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
Answer and explanation
Section 2(e) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 provides that words and expressions used in that Act but not defined in it, and defined in the Indian Contract Act, 1872, have the meanings given to them in the Contract Act. The General Clauses Act, 1897 supplies general definitions for Central Acts, but section 2(e) itself names the Contract Act, which fits because specific relief largely enforces contracts.
