Pollock and Mulla: Mulla Indian Contract And Specific Relief Acts (Vol 1 and 2)

Mulla in legal circles is a household name. out of his various classics of legal literature, Law of Contracts and Specific Relief occupies a unique place, not only because the concept of contract is fundamental in all commercial and industrial relationships and not only because it is fundamental in understanding various other Acts and Statutes, but also because key concepts like, consideration, mistake, public policy, frustration, quasi contract or damages have been remarkably made simple by his distinct ability to analyse and simplify such difficult concepts. Principles for the exercise of discretion by the Courts for the grant of Specific Performance and Injunctions have been lucidly dealt with. All the earlier editions of this Treatise have been given distinct pride of place in various quarters, judicial as well as academic. The present 13th edition is thoroughly updated and original identity of the Book is maintained as also section-wise treatment of both the Acts. A very large number of cases of the Apex Court and also of different High Courts between 2001 and 2005 have surfaced in Law Reports, both under the Contract Act and Specific Relief Act, particularly cases under public policy, damages, formation of contracts, government contracts etc. The Author has duly incorporated at their appropriate places practically every case of some significance and at many places with his own comments. This edition would be indispensable for lawyers practicing, especially on the commercial side of law at various hierarchical levels and for Judges adjudicating such cases. The edition would also be a significant contribution as a source of reference book at all academic levels, particularly for LL.m. and research scholars who could easily comprehend the fundamental principles of the legal contractual system as also their gradual growth through case law study as also the comparative development of english Law. The edition also contains a fair and objective foreword by Hon’ble Jusice K.G. Balakrishnan, a Judge, Supreme Court of India. The present updated edition is bound to be a very valuable addition to the Libraries of the eminent lawyers and of all the Courts including the District Courts, High Courts and the Apex Court as also to the Libraries of various law faculties of Universities, national Law Schools and private law colleges throughout the country.
