Pollock and Mulla The Specific Relief Act, 1963

Description
The law relating to specific relief in India achieved its current form after few experiments, when in 1963 it was concreted. In 2018, the Specific Relief Act underwent major amendments. There is scarcity of books and commentaries which carry within their fold, an updated thesis on the subject with relevant interpretations in the current shape of the law. One of such rare books is the celebrated commentary on Specific Relief Act by Pollock & Mulla, one of the oldest and the longest serving on the law. It is astonishing to note the consistent overwhelming response this book has received from all sections of readers and is not only considered prestigious but also sacred for readers on specific relief law. The proposal for revising and updating this legal classic was not only exciting and adventurous but also an honour for us as it associates us with perhaps one of the greatest running books on the subject ever written. It gives us immense and immeasurable pleasure to revise and update the 16th edition of this book and we hope it will succeed in maintaining the highest level of respect which the book has earned over the years. As the 15th edition of the book was published prior to the amendments made in 2018, we have focused more on case law and amendments post 2018. Therefore, our covered ranges primarily from 2017-18 onwards till May 2022 when we submitted the script. sweep of case law During the process of revision we found that the book missed certain relevant case law and commentaries prior to 2018 as well, so in all fairness and in the interest of readers we deemed it fit to incorporate the missed commentaries and refresh those portions as well. The fact that both of us are practicing advocates, gave us a wider view on the subject with focus on practical utility and helped us immensely in quick and effective revision of the book.
