Where a breach of contract would be adequately compensated by MONEY DAMAGES, the court under the Specific Relief Act, 1963:

Section 14(1)(a) of the Specific Relief Act provides that specific performance shall not be granted where the party seeking it can be compensated adequately by MONEY DAMAGES. The adequacy-of-damages test is the central threshold of the remedy: where a money award truly makes the plaintiff whole (ordinary market goods, readily available alternatives), the court refuses the inequitable compulsion of specific performance. Where the subject-matter is unique (land, a rare item), damages are inadequate and performance is decreed. The Section 14(1)(a) bar thus allocates cases between damages and the equitable remedy.
