Under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, the jurisdiction of the Court to decree specific performance is:

Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, as substituted 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". The general discretion under the former section 20 (discretionary, though not arbitrary) has been replaced by provisions on substituted performance, so the jurisdiction is now mandatory, subject to those statutory bars. It is not beyond appellate review and is not confined to immovable property.
