Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Under Section 12 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963The general rule is that specific performance of a part of the contract shall not be granted
This section reflects the principle that courts typically do not enforce only a part of a contract
Specific performance is an equitable remedy, and the whole contract must be capable of being performed
However, there are certain exceptions provided under the same section where partial performance may be granted
But as a general rule, partial enforcement is not allowed under Section 12
