Question

Which one of the following is not a remedy for breach of contract?

• A. Damages
• B. Injunction
• C. Fine
• D. Specific performance

Hint:

Contract remedies focus on compensation or enforcement, not penal fines.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To identify the remedy not applicable for breach of contract:
1. Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, remedies for breach of contract include damages (Section 73), injunction (to prevent breach), and specific performance (to enforce the contract).
2. A fine, however, is a penalty imposed by a court for criminal offenses, not a contractual remedy.
3. Thus, fine is not a recognized remedy for breach of contract.
Therefore, the correct answer is (3) Fine.
