Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The law of torts in India is largely uncodified, but parts of it are covered by statutes, and the "Specific Relief Act, 1963" is one of them: it governs remedies for civil wrongs such as recovery of possession of property (sections 5 to 8) and injunctions (sections 36 to 42). The Arbitration and Conciliation Act deals with arbitration, the Contract Act with contracts, and the Industrial Disputes Act with industrial disputes, and none of them codifies tort law.
