Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, as substituted by the Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018 with effect from 1 October 2018, provides that the specific performance of a contract "shall be enforced by the court subject to the provisions contained in sub-section (2) of section 11, section 14 and section 16".
