(Co 1)
a. Aman has two visitors at his home, Dilip and Sahil. Aman had hired a taxi from Dilip the
previous week, for five days, at the rate of Rs. 1800 per day. Dilip has now come to
collect RS. 9000 for providing the taxi service. Sahil, Aman's friend, is jobless. He has
come to collect a donation to start out a small business. Aman had earlier said that he
would give him Rs. 40,000. Sahil had thanked him and was waiting to receive the
amount from him. Aman was short of funds and told both, Dilip and Sahil, that he could
not afford to give them the money and they should not come back again for the money.
There certainly is an agreement between Aman and Dilip, as wellas between Aman and
Sahil. Should Aman be made to respect both the agreements?

b.Abhayisin the business of making spurious.medicines, Mahim runs a shop and works
in consortto sell consignments supplied by Abhay. Mahim made an advance payment
of Rs. 5000 for a consignment. He was to pay the remaining Rs. 20,000 later. Soon after
Mahim received the goods, a raid was conducted by the law enforcement agency at his
premises. The agency confiscated the entire_stock sent by Abhay. Mahim is now
refusing to pay the remaining Rs. 20,000 to Abhay, while Abhay claimsthat there is a
contract between the parties and he must get his consideration. There is certainly a
contract between Abhay and Mahim. We have concluded so. far that contracts should be
enforced. Should this contract, however, be enforced?
