Supreme Court on Specific Relief Act (Cases and Materials) (2 Volume Set)

............................................................................................
Description
It has been a long-felt need for a book to bring on a single platform the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court on the Specific Relief Act. With this objective in mind, the sections [in which judgments could not be found] have only been set out. As the amended sections do not have retrospective effect and a vast majority of the pending cases would be under the unamended Specific Relief Act of 1963, this book deals with judgments on the said unamended sections. The sections, as amended, have been set out. There is a shortage of books which lay emphasis on case law on the subject of law relating to Specific Relief. Supreme Court on Specific Relief Act (Cases and Materials) seeks to redress that lacuna. The emphasis is on judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court. An attempt has been made to cull out the ratio decidendi of each judgment, setting out brief facts and setting out from the judgment the steps till the Hon'ble High Court, the submissions before the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the findings thereon. The book will be useful not only to the bar but also to the bench.

Author Details
HARIHARAN DEVARAJAN made his foray into the field of law more by accident than by design. He graduated with a degree in mathematics 1968 and sought admission to law in 1976, when it was suggested to him that he should pursue further studies. Devarajan graduated in law from Andhra University with a ranking. He joined the bar in 1989 and started practicing in the Bombay High Court. In 1994, he joined the Supreme Court Bar. Practicing essentially in the writ Courts, Devarajan appeared in matters before the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the High Courts of Allahabad, Andhra Pradesh, Bombay, Delhi and Patna. He acquired wide experience in matters relating to the sugar industry of Bihar, Rent Control Legislation, Urban Land Development and other statutes of the States of Bihar and Maharashtra. Devarajan has worked with several legal luminaries including Senior Advocates F.S. Nariman, Soli Sorabjee, Shanti Bhusan and R.F.Nariman [before he was elevated] of the Hon'ble Supreme Court; his guru Y.V. Giri of the Patna High Court; the late SeniorAdvocates G. Ramaswamy, Rajaramji Aggarwal and Basudeo Prasad; and Justice G.C. Bharuka [before he was elevated].
