SPECIFIC RELIEF ACT, 1963

The Specific Relief Act, 1963 (SRA) is a specialized civil statute in India that provides remedies when monetary compensation (damages) is not an adequate solution for a breach of contract or civil wrong. While the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) provides the general machinery for all lawsuits, the SRA steps in to grant precise, equitable remedies—such as forcing a party to perform their exact contractual obligation or stopping them from committing an unlawful act.
