The University does not publish an official answer key for this paper. The answers in this volume are model answers, written to show how a full-mark answer is built. They are a study aid, not an authority on what an examiner marked.
The question paper reproduced here is the paper as set by the University of Mumbai at the Feb 2019 examination.
The answers in this volume state the law as it stands today, not as it stood when this paper was set. That matters in this subject: the Specific Relief (Amendment) Act, 2018, took effect on 1 October 2018 and rewrote Sections 10, 14, 16 and 20, so specific performance is now the rule rather than a discretionary remedy. Where a question asks about a provision that has since been replaced, the answer gives the provision as it then stood and the present position, and says which is which. A repeated question from an older paper can therefore be answered from these pages as they are written.

How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
SECTION I
Q.1: Answer the following
in not more than two sentences · (20 Marks - 2 marks each)
1.What is meant by void agreement?[2]
Answer
Section 2(g) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872: "An agreement not enforceable by law is said to be void."
A void agreement is a nullity from the beginning, void ab initio. It creates no rights and no obligations, and no suit lies upon it by either party. It can never be ratified.
Distinguish it from a voidable contract under Section 2(i), which is enforceable at the option of one party and is valid and binding until avoided; and from a contract which becomes void under Section 2(j), which was valid when made and later ceased to be enforceable, as under Section 56.
