The committee has been asked to submit its report within three months.
The Specific Relief Act, 1963 provides for the law relating to certain kind of specific relief and has not been amended since its inception.

It is a remedy which aims at the exact fulfillment of an obligation or specific performance of the contract rather than a general relief or damages or compensation. The review of the Act will also ensure ease of doing business.
