    B Doctrine of Uncertainty Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 14(1)(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, bars specific performance for contracts that are determinable in their nature or require the court to construct uncertain terms. For example, a partnership agreement of uncertain duration cannot be specifically enforced as either party might dissolve it immediately. This ensures courts enforce only contracts with sufficiently certain and definable terms to allow proper judicial supervision.
