Part performance of contract in law

How to specifically perform a contract that is partly performed by the party defaulting it. The answer to this question is present in section 14 of Specific Relief Act 1877 in the following manner.

Can a contract be formed partly?

Specific performance of part of contract where part unperformed is small 14. Where a party to a contract is unable to perform the whole of his part of it, but the part which must be left unperformed bears only a small proportion to the whole in value, and admits of compensation in money, the Court may, at the suit of either party, direct the specific performance of so much of the contract as can be performed, and award compensation in money for the deficiency.
