Commentary On The Specific Relief Act,1963

Commentary on The Specific Relief Act, 1963 offers a practical yet scholarly exposition of India’s principal statute on equitable remedies. Each provision is reproduced and annotated with purposive analysis, leading Supreme Court and High Court decisions, and cross-references to related doctrines (contract law, limitation, evidence and equitable maxims). Detailed chapters explain the law and procedure of specific performance — including contracts for sale, special contracts (partnership, lease), discretionary reliefs and grounds for refusal — and develop a practitioner’s checklist for pleading, proof and relief framing. The injunction section covers interim and perpetual injunctions, interlocutory regimes, balance of convenience, irreparable harm and enforcement of orders. The book also treats declaratory relief, rescission, cancellation of instruments and quasi-equitable remedies, and includes drafting guidance (model plaints, applications and prayer clauses), sample orders, and tactical practice notes on limitation, interim relief strategy and appellate considerations. Updated with contemporary jurisprudence and procedural tips, the commentary bridges academic analysis and courtroom practice — reducing research time and improving litigation outcomes in remedies work.
