Section 5 of the Specific Relief Act explicitly directs that recovery of specific immovable property must follow the procedure laid down in the CPC, 1908. The SRA provides the substantive right to recovery, but the CPC provides the procedural mechanism (filing suit, obtaining decree, executing decree through attachment/sale). The TPA deals with transfer of property, not its recovery. CrPC deals with criminal procedure. The SRA itself doesn't contain the enforcement procedure — it defers to CPC.
The text reads: Section 5 SRA: A person entitled to possession of specific immovable property may recover it in the manner provided by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
