LAW OF CONTRACTS-II

TITLE OF THE PROJECT: CONTRACT OF PLEDGE.

The Pledge means delivery of goods as security for the payment of debt or performance of a

judgements are delivered by the privy council and the remaining are delivered by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India.

The judgements delivered by the Privy Council are:

So, in this research project I would analyse all the above stated case laws in order to learn the
contract of pledge and the judicial interpretation of the same and how it differs from the facts
and circumstances of each case.
