Suit for Specific Performance of Contracts – Trusted Civil Lawyers Karachi
In Karachi, contracts create binding obligations between parties. When one party fails to fulfill their commitments—especially in property sales or business agreements—you have the legal right to demand Specific Performance of Contracts through the courts.
At GNS Law Associates, our experienced Specific Performance Lawyers in Karachi assist individuals and businesses in enforcing legal contracts. We ensure that agreements, particularly for property transactions, are honored through proper legal channels, protecting your rights and interests.

What is Specific Performance of Contracts?
Specific Performance is a legal remedy where the court orders a party to perform their contractual obligations, rather than simply paying compensation. This remedy is commonly used when:
✔️ A party refuses to transfer property after signing a sale agreement
✔️ A business contract is breached, causing serious loss
✔️ Monetary compensation is inadequate or impossible
✔️ The contract involves unique or irreplaceable subject matter
Under the Specific Relief Act, 1877, courts in Pakistan can enforce contracts when it’s just, equitable, and necessary to protect the aggrieved party.
When You Need to File Suit for Specific Performance
You should consult a lawyer and consider filing for specific performance if:
✔️ You signed a valid sale agreement for property, and the seller refuses to transfer ownership
✔️ You fulfilled your contractual obligations, but the other party breached the agreement
✔️ The subject of the contract is unique, such as real estate or custom-built items
✔️ Financial compensation alone won’t adequately cover your loss
We assist clients in preparing and filing specific performance suits to enforce agreements legally.
