Fact: A who owns two cars, one maruti and the other Santro, offers to sell B one car. A intending it to be the Maruti car B accepts the offer thinking that it is the santro.
Issue: Is A liable?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
A is not liable because there is no consensus and hence no contract.
💡 Explanation:
For a valid contract, there must be consensus ad idem (meeting of minds) on the same subject matter. Here A intends to sell Maruti but B thinks Santro - no consensus on which car. No valid contract was formed, so A is not liable. Option B is incorrect because offer+acceptance alone is insufficient without consensus.
