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 Apr 2024 - 60/40 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 in one or two lines
Any six · (12 Marks - 2 marks each)
1.Define 'acceptance' under Indian Contract Act.[2]
Answer
Section 2(b) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872: "When the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal is said to be accepted. A proposal, when accepted, becomes a promise."
Its essentials are that the acceptance must be absolute and unqualified (Section 7(1)), expressed in some usual and reasonable manner unless the proposal prescribes a manner (Section 7(2)), and communicated to the proposer (Sections 3 and 4). It must be given by the person to whom the proposal was made, while the proposal subsists, and with knowledge of it.
Section 8 adds that the performance of the conditions of a proposal is itself an acceptance, which is how a general offer is accepted.
