Which event is a preventive court remedy rather than a way of discharging contractual obligations?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

A temporary injunction is preventive relief under sections 36 and 37 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. Complete performance, valid substitution and termination following repudiation can discharge obligations under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.

Option feedback

Option A

Performing the promised obligations satisfies them.

Option B

When the parties validly substitute a new contract, section 62 releases them from performing the original one.

Option C

Section 39 allows the promisee to end the contract after repudiation of the whole promise, unless the promisee has accepted its continuance.

Option D

A temporary injunction provides preventive relief. The order itself does not discharge contractual obligations.
