Mulla in legal circles is a household name. out of his various classics of legal literature, Law of Contracts and Specific Relief occupies a unique place, not only because the concept of contract is fundamental in all commercial and industrial relationships and not only because it is fundamental in understanding various other Acts and Statutes, but also because key concepts like, consideration, mistake, public policy, frustration, quasi contract or damages have been remarkably made simple by his distinct ability to analyse and simplify such difficult concepts.
Principles for the exercise of discretion by the Courts for the grant of Specific Performance and Injunctions have been lucidly dealt with. All the earlier editions of this Treatise have been given distinct pride of place in various quarters, judicial as well as academic.
The present 13th edition is thoroughly updated and original identity of the Book is maintained as also section-wise treatment of both the Acts. A very large number of cases of the Apex Court and also of different High Courts between 2001 and 2005 have surfaced in Law Reports, both under the Contract Act and Specific Relief Act, particularly cases under public policy, damages, formation of contracts, government contracts etc. The Author has duly incorporated at their appropriate places practically every case of some significance and at many places with his own comments.
