Under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, a court REFUSES specific performance of a contract for the sale of goods that are FREELY available in the market, because:

Specific performance is granted only where DAMAGES are not an adequate remedy - typically for land or unique goods. For freely-available, ordinary market goods, the buyer can obtain substantially the same goods from the market, and money damages adequately compensate the breach, so the court refuses specific performance. Section 14(1)(a) of the Specific Relief Act bars the remedy where damages afford an adequate relief. The special value or uniqueness of the subject-matter, not its mere contractuality, attracts specific performance. Adequacy-of-damages is the threshold test.
