CASE STUDY#1
A enters into a contract with B, who is 16 years of age. A
is fully aware of the fact that B has not attained the age of
majority. Later on B commits a fraud & breach the
contract. Has A any right of action against B for his
wrongful act?
Fact of the Case:
By keeping in mind the one of the essential element of contract

Capacity of parties which told us not to do contract with the person

who is not at the age of maturity because he/she will not be able to
understand the terms and conditions of the contract. Later on if B commits a
fraud & breach the contract than A has no right to take legal action against B
because they already dont meet the core element of contract.

Judgment of the Case:

While having contract with anyone we should check all the elements of
the contract if there is a miss of any element than contract will not be
proceed anyway. In this case A is not in the age maturity therefore he was
not able to take any legal action against B and drag him to the court.

CASE STUDY#2
X asks Y to commit murder of Z for an amount of
Rs.50000/-. Y murders Z and then asks X to fulfill his
commitment of payment but X denies doing so. Can Y file
a case against X in the court & can court compel him to
complete his contract or can court punish him for the
breach of contract?
Fact of the Case:
A contract is one who has the legal enforceability and this kind of
dealing

is

not

considered

as

contract

as

Contract

need

Lawful

consideration that is for bidden by law and doesnt involve any injury to
the third party. So Y cant case a file against X because this type of contract
doesnt have any legal authority to take lawful action.

Judgment:
We cannot use the word Contract in this scenario because contract needs
lawful consideration and legal enforceability which do not exist in this scenario.
We cannot harm anyone in the behalf of any payment or job done and for the
negligence of this dealing the party is not allowed to drag other party to the court
because our law is not giving permission for this kind of actions.
