Ravi sells his house to Suresh by a registered sale deed but refuses to hand over possession. Suresh's effective remedy before the civil court is:

Where a purchaser has obtained title by a registered sale deed but possession is withheld by the vendor, the purchaser may recover possession by a suit under Section 5 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, which allows a person entitled to the possession of specific immovable property to recover it by suit. A perpetual injunction under Section 38 is preventive and protects an existing right against threatened invasion; it does not deliver possession, and a mandatory injunction under Section 39 commands the doing of an act rather than the recovery of property. Damages are not the exclusive remedy, because specific recovery is available as of right to the person entitled to possession. The sale being already executed, no further suit for specific performance of the contract is needed.
