Issue Analysis
Is it a valid contract?
Yes, it is a valid contract. Contract is valid as
there was an agreement being made by the two
parties. According to Section 10 of the Indian
Contract Act, all agreements are contracts if
they are made under the free consent of the
parties competent to contract, for a lawful
consideration and with a lawful object and are
not expressly declared to be void.

Is there a breach of contract ?


Yes, there is a breach of contract as X failed
to pay the installments every month without
failure. The contract clearly states that failure of
payment of installments will lead to revocation
of the car.

Theories
Contract
Offer and Acceptance
Breach of Contract

Contract
An agreement creating & defining obligation
between the parties

Offer and Acceptance


An agreement is the basic element of valid
contract. Agreement is created by offer &
acceptance. The offer must be definite & the
acceptance of the offer must be absolute &
unconditional.

Decision of the case


As it is clearly stated in the contract between
X and Y, i.e, if X fails to pay the monthly
installments without any failure, Y can
revocate the car from X. So it will not give
any sort of benefits or compensation to X
even if he approached the court and filed a
case against Y for revocating the car without
giving any prior notice to X.
