Which of the contract is not specifically enforceable:

Verified Answer
A. A contract for the non performance of which compensation in money is not an adequate relief.
B. A contract which is in its nature determinable.
C. A contract, the performance of which does not involve the performance of a continuous duty, which the Court can supervise.
D. A contract which is not dependent on the personal qualification or volition of the parties.

Explanation:

Section 14(1)(c) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, explicitly states that a contract which is in its nature determinable (e.g., a partnership at will, which can be dissolved by notice) cannot be specifically enforced. The other options describe situations where specific performance is generally granted or is a condition for granting it.
