Commentary on The Specific Relief Act, 1963 by Om Prakash Aggarwala, revised and updated by Justice M. L. Singhal, is a classic and authoritative treatise on civil remedies in India. This Ninth Edition incorporates the transformative changes introduced by the Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018, which significantly altered the approach to specific performance of contracts.

The book provides detailed section-wise commentary supported by judicial precedents and practical analysis. It examines remedies such as specific performance, injunctions (temporary and perpetual), declaratory relief, rectification and cancellation of instruments, rescission of contracts, and recovery of possession.

Special attention is given to the shift in legislative policy making specific performance a general rule rather than an exception, thereby enhancing its importance in commercial and contractual litigation. The commentary also addresses procedural aspects and strategic considerations for civil litigation.

Published by Vinod Publications (P) Ltd., it remains a trusted and comprehensive guide to mastering the Specific Relief Act in modern Indian civil jurisprudence.
