The Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018: An Analysis Of Applicability And Key Changes


Pervez Sadiq Rahman, Christ (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru


ABSTRACT


The Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018 is a transformative step in the law of Indian contracts, an emphasis on improving its enforceability and reducing judicial discretion. This paper critically addresses two crucial questions: the application of the Amendment-whether it applies prospectively or retrospectively-and its landmark legal reforms including substituted performance, restrictions on injunctions in infrastructure projects, and setting up of special courts. The author conducts doctrinal research and content analysis to examine the legislative intent, judicial interpretations, and broader implications of the Amendment, with an emphasis on how it aligns with India's economic policy goals.
