Which of the following sections of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 deals with specific performance of…

Specific Relief Act section 12 addresses specific performance of part of a contract. Its general rule disallows partial performance except within the specified subsections, including small compensable deficiencies and defined relinquishment cases. Sections 10, 11 and 13 address different grounds or contexts for relief.

Current law: The 2018 amendment changed the broader framework for specific performance, effective 1 October 2018, but section 12 continues to govern partial performance. Historical transactions require attention to the applicable version and judicial authority; a blanket statement that every pre-2018 transaction is settled under one temporal rule is inappropriate.
