Specific Relief Act

Since the 2018 amendment, specific performance is the rule, not the exception. What a tenant holding a notarised but repudiated lease deed must plead and prove: readiness and willingness, mandatory injunction, interim protection and court fees.

Sections 31 to 33 of the Specific Relief Act let courts cancel void or voidable sale deeds. The recognised grounds, the void-voidable divide, the three-year limitation rule, burden of proof, and when refund of consideration is ordered.

India has no franchise statute, so a franchisor's exit rights live or die by the contract. When convenience termination is enforceable, what a valid notice must contain, and which post-termination obligations survive Section 27 of the Contract Act.
