  14. Contracts not specifically enforceable
  (1) The following contracts cannot be specifically enforced,
  
  namely,-
  (a) a contract for the non-performance of
  
  which compensation is an adequate relief;
  (b) a contract which runs into such minute or
  
  numerous details or which is so dependent on the personal qualifications or
  
  volition of the parties, or otherwise from its nature is such, that the court
  
  cannot enforce specific performance of its material terms;
  (c) a contract which is in its nature
  
  determinable;

  (2) Save as provided by the Arbitration Act, 1940, no contract
  
  to refer present or future differences to arbitration shall be specifically
  
  enforced; but if any person who has made such a contract (other than
  
  arbitration agreement to which the provisions of the said Act apply) and has
  
  refused to perform it, sues in respect of any subject which he has contracted
  
  to refer, the existence of such contract shall bar the suit.
  (3) Notwithstanding anything contained in clause (a) or clause
  
  (c) or clause (d) of sub-section (1), the court may enforce specific
  
  performance in the following cases:
  (a) where the suit is for the enforcement of a
  
  contract,-
  (i) to execute a mortgage or furnish any other
  
  security for securing the repayment of any loan which the borrower is not
  
  willing to repay at once:
  PROVIDED that where only a part of the loan has
  
  been advanced the vendor is willing to advance the remaining part of the loan
  
  in terms of the contract; or
  (ii) to take up and
  
  pay for any debentures of a company;

  share of a partner in a firm;

  contract for the construction of any building or the execution of any other
  
  work on land:
  PROVIDED that the following conditions are
  
  fulfilled, namely,-
  (i) the building or other work is described in
  
  the contract in terms sufficiently precise to enable the court to determine the
  
  exact nature of the building or work;
  (ii) the plaintiff has a substantial interest
  
  in the performance of the contract and the interest is of such a nature that
  
  compensation in money for non-performance of the contract is not an adequate
  
  relief; and
  (iii) the defendant has, in pursuance of the
  
  contract, obtained possession of the whole or any part of the land on which the
  
  building is to be constructed or other work is to be executed.
