ACCEPTANCE IS TO OFFER WHAT A LIGHTED MATCH IS TO A TRAIN OF GUNPOWDER.

IT PRODUCES SOMETHING WHICH

CANNOT BE RECALLED OR UNDONE.VALIDATE THE ABOVE STATEMENT WITH THE AID OF CASE LAW AND RELEVANT
PROVISIONS OF LAW.

The above statement is basically an analogy i.e it is a comparison of two different phenomenons that are similar in some
ways.The two important phenomenons are in this analogy are”offer” and “acceptance” .To understand the meaning of
this analogy the two phenomenons are important to know

When an offer is accepted cannot be revoked.this means when a contract is made the two sides agree to what the
contract offers hence cannot be revoked in one way or another .

But so long a lighted match is to shown a gunpowder remain insert and can be removed ,similarly an offer can be
removed before it’s acceptance .Thus acceptance can be removed from offer

Upon analyzing this statement ,it can be seen that gunpowder is the offer and lighted matchstick is acceptable .If a
lighted matchstick is placed or brought near a train of gun powder disaster or explosion takes place which couldn’t be
done or reversed .Similarly when an acceptance is being made in response of an offer it cannot be revoked cancelled.
On the other hand ,if a lighted matchstick is not brought near a train of gunpowder nothing serious or disastrous would
occur .This implies that first party can revoke or reverse the offer before it is being accepted

If we analyze ‘’offer’ ’and acceptance separately ,they cannot lead to the information of contract .But whenever a valid
offer is supported by acceptance ,this leads to such a contract which is valid and enforceable by law .This statement or
analogy consists of ‘’gunpowder’’ and ‘’lighted matchstick’’ which are ’’offer’’ and ’’acceptance’’ respectively .These two
things help us to know the importance of accepting an offer .The gunpowder if placed separately cannot be
exploded .But it can explode or burst if a lighted matchstick is brought near it .Likewise if offer is made and it is being
accepted it becomes compulsory to be fulfilled and it couldn’t be revoked by anyone .

However there could be certain restrictions or limitations to this offer and acceptance binding .Those limitations could
be that the gunpowder or offer lacks any of its elements or the lighted matchstick becomes wet or it might happen that
the gunpowder becomes damp or wet or the person who has laid the train or has made the acceptance removes it, in all
these situations there would be on explosion .This means that an offer can only be cancelled prior to its
acceptance .Hence it can be said that it becomes very difficult to revoke an offer when it is accepted .There are few ways
in which an offer can revoked.
