The discretion had necessarily to be exercised in accordance with sound and reasonable judicial principles.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the amendment of Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, the words \u201cspecific performance of any contract may, in the discretion of the Court, be enforced\u201d have been substituted with the words \u201cspecific performance of a contract shall be enforced subject to &#8230;\u201d. Hence,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">\u201cthe Court is, now obliged to enforce the specific performance of a contract, subject to the provisions of sub-section (2) of Section 11, Section 14 and Section 16 of the S.R.A. Relief of specific performance of a contract is no longer discretionary, after the amendment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Referring to suits relating to sale of land, the Court explained that<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333399;\">\u201can agreement to sell immovable property, generally creates a right in personam in favour of the Vendee. The Vendee acquires a legitimate right to enforce specific performance of the agreement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court ordinarily enforces a contract in its entirety by passing a decree for its specific performance. However, Section 12 of the Specific Relief Act carves out exceptions, where the Court might direct specific performance of a contract in part.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, where a party to the contract is unable to perform the whole of his part of the contract, the Court may, in the circumstances mentioned in Section 12 of the Specific Relief Act, direct the specific performance of so much of the contract, as can be performed, particularly where the value of the part of the contract left unperformed would be small in proportion to the total value of the contract and admits of compensation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court may, under Section 12 of the Specific Relief Act direct the party in default to perform specifically, so much of his part of the contract, as he can perform, provided the other party pays or has paid the consideration for the whole of the contract, reduced by the consideration for the part which must be left unperformed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[B.
