munotes.in is an independent study resource for students of the University of Mumbai. It is not affiliated with the University of Mumbai, and is not endorsed by it.

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 Dec 2025 - 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 Any Six of the Following

12 Marks - 2 marks each

munotes.in 1

1.Give two examples of invitation to offer.[2]

Answer

An invitation to offer (also called an invitation to treat) is a statement inviting others to make proposals. It is not itself a proposal under Section 2(a) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, so it cannot be accepted into a contract.

Two examples:

  1. Goods displayed in a shop window or on a shelf with a price tag. The display invites the customer to offer to buy; the contract is made at the counter when the shopkeeper accepts. Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v. Boots Cash Chemists (1953) and Fisher v. Bell (1961).
  2. An advertisement, catalogue or price list. Partridge v. Crittenden (1968). Similarly a tender notice, a prospectus inviting share applications, and an auctioneer's request for bids are invitations; the bid is the offer.
