?

A contract made by a trustee in excess of his powers or in breach of trust cannot be specifically enforced.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
In accordance with the principles of equity and trust law, a trustee holds a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries and to administer the trust property in accordance with the terms of the trust deed or applicable law. If a trustee enters into a contract that exceeds their powers or breaches their fiduciary duties, it is considered a breach of trust.

Under the Specific Relief Act, which governs the specific performance of contracts, a contract made by a trustee in excess of their powers or in breach of trust cannot be specifically enforced. This means that if a trustee enters into such a contract, the beneficiaries or other affected parties cannot compel the trustee to carry out the contract through specific performance.

Therefore, the statement "A contract made by a trustee in excess of his powers or in breach of trust cannot be specifically enforced" is true (Option A).
