Section 34 of SRA : Section 34: Discretion Of Court As To Declaration Of Status Or Right

Explanation using Example

Imagine Sarah believes she is the rightful owner of a piece of land passed down to her from her grandparents. However, her cousin, John, claims that he is the one entitled to the property and has been vocal about his assertion, affecting Sarah's ability to sell the land. Sarah can file a suit under Section 34 of The Specific Relief Act, 1963, asking the court to declare that she is the legal owner of the land. The court can then make a declaration of her entitlement, even if she does not seek any additional relief like an injunction or damages. This declaration can help clarify her legal standing regarding the property.
