Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, an injunction is barred where it would impede or delay an infrastructure project, or to prevent breach of a contract whose performance could not itself be specifically enforced; the bar for lack of interest applies only where the plaintiff has none, not where he has one, and the bar on restraining proceedings is confined to a non-subordinate court, not civil proceedings generally.
