Specific Relief Act

The Specific Relief Act of 1963 is an Indian law that provides remedies for civil disputes, primarily focusing on the enforcement of contractual obligations. It allows courts to order the actual performance of a contract rather than just awarding monetary damages. For example, if someone fails to deliver a promised item, the affected party can seek a court order to complete the transaction. The Act emphasizes fairness and justice, aiming to ensure that parties uphold their agreements and that rights are respected, especially in cases where monetary compensation isn’t adequate to resolve the issue.
