Section 20A of SRA : Section 20A: Special Provisions For Contract Relating To Infrastructure Project

Explanation using Example

Let's say a construction company, BuildFast Inc., is contracted by the government to construct a new highway that is part of a larger infrastructure project aimed at improving transportation in a rapidly growing region. During the construction, a local landowner, Mr. Green, files a lawsuit against BuildFast Inc. claiming that the construction work is causing damage to his property and seeks an injunction to halt the construction.

Under Section 20A of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, the court would not grant an injunction to Mr. Green if doing so would impede or delay the progress or completion of the highway project, which is considered an infrastructure project as specified in the Schedule of the Act. This provision ensures that critical infrastructure projects can proceed without being stalled by injunctions that could potentially delay their completion.
