LLB 3 years Sem 4 Contract II Solved Question Papers with Answers 2011 to 2026 - Mumbai University | munotes

Contract II is three Acts in one paper. The Indian Contract Act, 1872 supplies indemnity and guarantee, bailment and pledge, and agency. The Indian Partnership Act, 1932 and the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 supply the rest. Thirty-one papers are solved here, from November 2010 to April 2026, and thirty of them have long answers. Partnership is a long answer in 28 of those 30 papers, and sale of goods in 27. Bailment or pledge comes in 23, agency in 22, and guarantee or indemnity in 19. The Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 has been set only twice, in May and October 2025. Both times it asked for the features of an LLP and how one is incorporated.

Four long answers come back more than any others. Dissolving a firm, by its modes, its grounds or the ways it can happen, is a long answer in 14 of the 30 papers. Termination of agency is a long answer in 11 papers. The passing of property or title from seller to buyer is one in 10. The unpaid seller is a long answer in 9 papers, and some question on him is set in 18. These four are the safest long answers to prepare first.

The short questions repeat word for word. Partnership at will and the definition of bailment are each set in nine papers. Indemnity and the meaning of goods are set in eight, and future goods and the definition of pledge in seven. The principal debtor, sale against agreement to sell, and a partner's authority in an emergency are set in six papers each. Across the folder, 148 questions are printed more than once, covering 442 of the 737 printed. The same question gets the same answer here every time, so the 737 need 443 distinct answers.

The situations section reuses its facts with new names. In four papers, a parcel of grain bags is sold when part of it has already been stolen, unknown to the seller. That tests section 7 of the Sale of Goods Act. A stranger's notice ending a lease, and whether it can be ratified, tests section 200 of the Contract Act in four. A bank that lent to a firm against its fixed deposits tests the banker's lien under section 171 in four. A surety whose creditor and debtor raise the price without his consent tests section 133 in three. Learn the section each one turns on, and use the paper's own names in your answer.

Check which pattern you are sitting. Up to November 2019 the paper was 100 marks in three hours. It had ten questions at 2 marks and four short notes out of six at 5. Then came two problems out of three at 6, and four long answers out of six at 12. The 2021-22 online paper had 21 multiple choice questions and 10 short written answers. Since November 2022 there are two papers. The 60 mark paper has four sections of 12, 12, 12 and 24 marks, ending with two long answers out of four at 12. The 75 mark paper ends with three long answers out of five at 13.

Some of the law in these answers is newer than most of the papers. In Lalit Kumar Jain (2021) the Supreme Court held that approving a resolution plan for a company does not by itself discharge a personal guarantor. In V. Subramaniam (2009) it struck down Maharashtra's section 69(2A), which had left a partner of an unregistered firm no way out of it. Product liability under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 now stands beside caveat emptor. The answers state the law as it stands in 2026, so prefer them to older notes on these points.

A few facts about the files will save you confusion. Every paper is on both the B.L.S. Semester 8 page and the LL.B. Semester 4 page, and both carry the same answers. The April 2015 paper's English asks for any two short notes out of six, which makes them 10 marks each. Its Marathi version says any four. The notes there are written at 10 marks. The file listed as October 2024 75:25 is undated and carries a form number from the May 2024 run. The paper filed as November 2013 carries a number from the start of the 2013 series and may be the April 2013 sitting.
