Solution (By Examveda Team)
Under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, the following types of contracts can be specifically enforced:Contract to get objects of historic value: Contracts involving objects of special value or historic significance can be specifically enforced because their unique nature makes monetary compensation inadequate.
Option A: Contingent contracts depend on the occurrence of a future event, making them generally unsuitable for specific enforcement.Option B: Contracts to form partnerships are often based on personal relationships and mutual trust, which makes specific enforcement impractical.Option D: Marriage contracts are typically not specifically enforced due to the personal nature of marriage and individual rights.Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: Contract to get objects of historic value.
