Supreme Court on Specific Relief Act (Covering case law since 1950 to 2014 and relevant statutory law) (Vol 1)

.............................................................................................................................
Description
This comprehensive compendium not only contains all the rulings of the Supreme Court on the Specific Relief Acts, 1877 and 1963 from 1950 till the present, but also contains the full statutory text of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. The bare text of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 is available at two places: firstly, the whole Act can be studied in full at pp. 1-53; and, secondly, the bare text of each section has been given just before the case notes on each section of the Specific Relief Act, 1963. Furthermore, there are a large number of judgments in which the provisions of the Specific Relief Act are not expressly mentioned by the Supreme Court, but they are inferentially involved.  The SCC Editors over the years have carefully studied each judgment of the Supreme Court since 1950 and have sifted and extracted every possible ruling of law that may be relevant to the Specific Relief Acts, 1877/1963, thus making this compendium the most comprehensive source of rulings of law on the Specific Relief Act by the highest court of the land, which rulings are binding in the whole country under Art. 141 of the Constitution.
