B. A contract which is in its nature determinable.
C. A contract the performance whereof involves the performance of a continuous duty.

Explanation:
Under the Specific Relief Act, 1963: (1) Contracts where compensation is adequate relief are generally not specifically enforceable (Section 14(1)(a)). (2) Contracts which are in their nature determinable are not specifically enforceable (Section 14(1)(c)). (3) Contracts involving continuous duty which the court cannot supervise are not specifically enforceable (Section 14(1)(d)). A contract for the purchase of a share of a partner in a firm is generally specifically enforceable, as shares in a partnership are often considered unique or not readily available, making monetary compensation inadequate.
