Question

Under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, a suit for recovery of possession can be filed:

• A. Only in respect of moveable property
• B. Only in respect of immoveable property
• C. In respect of both moveable and immoveable property
• D. In respect of property which is deliverable

Hint:

Specific Relief Act deals with recovery of both specific movable property and specific immovable property.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The Specific Relief Act provides remedies where actual specific relief is required instead of mere compensation.

Step 1: Understand recovery of possession.
Recovery of possession means getting back property from a person who is wrongfully holding it. \[ \text{Recovery of possession} = \text{Restoration of possession} \]

Step 2: Check immovable property.
The Act provides remedies for recovery of specific immovable property.

Step 3: Check movable property.
The Act also provides remedies for recovery of specific movable property in appropriate cases. \[ \text{Specific Relief Act} \Rightarrow \text{Movable + Immovable property} \] Therefore, a suit for recovery of possession can be filed in respect of both movable and immovable property.
