Assignment No. 01
DUE DATE: 14th November, 2019
Read the examples given below and answer the questions. (4 marks each)
Under the provisions of the Contract Act, 1872 identify the type of offer which was made by Bader. Also state whether Aftab would be able to claim the amount of reward under the circumstances. Mohsin promised Ahsan that he will pay his university fee. Later Mohsin suffered losses in his business and refused to pay the fee. Mohisn is of the view that since the agreement was without consideration, it does not constitute a valid contract. However, Ahsan believes that the agreement is enforceable under law as it meets certain other conditions.
You are required to narrate the conditions which Ahsan may be referring to. Mr. A promises Mr. B to sell his horse after one month to Mr. B for Rs. 50,000. Before the completion of one month, the horse died. State whether the contract can be performed or not. Also mention the legal status of this contract. Mr. X threatens Mr. Y with dire consequences unless Mr. Y enters into a contract to sell a piece of land to Mr. X at Rs. 1 lac. Is this a valid contract? Justify your answer with reason. Asif stole cash and merchandise from the ABC Store. Basit, the owner of store, initiated legal proceedings against him. Asif contacted Basit with an offer to return the stolen cash and merchandise if Basit withdraws the suit. Basit accepted the offer. Is it a valid agreement? Discuss.
