Question

A agrees to B for consideration 10 Lakh to kill C. B borrows the amount of 10 lakh from D.

This D who knows the purpose still lends money to B. Later on B denied such debt from

D. Whether D can recover amount of 10 lakh from B? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

B becomes a fraud because of the false promise and he also denied to give back the money.Where an agreement made by D is an illegal because he knows the purpose that B is going to kill C.

When the object of a contract or the consideration of a contract is prohibited by law, then they are not lawful consideration or object anymore. The agreement made by D to B is void because the object is unlawful, forbidden by law.

So D cannot recover the amount of 10 Lakh from B.

I don't know the exact answer, the above are my own thoughts ... Please cross-check. Thank you.

Explanation:

a) When one person signifies to another his willingness to do or to abstain from doing anything, with a view to obtaining the assent of that other to such act or abstinence, he is said to make a proposal;

(b) When the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto, the proposal is said to be accepted. A proposal, when accepted, becomes a promise;

(c) The person making the proposal is called the “promisor”, and the person accepting the proposal is called the “promisee”;

(d) When, at the desire of the promisor, the promisee or any other person has done or abstained from doing, or does or abstains from doing, or promises to do or to abstain from doing, something, such act or abstinence or promise is called a consideration for the promise;

(e) Every promise and every set of promises, forming the consideration for each other, is an agreement;

(f) Promises which form the consideration or part of the consideration for each other, are called reciprocal promises;

(g) An agreement not enforceable by law is said to be void;

(h) An agreement enforceable by law is a contract;

(i) An agreement which is enforceable by law at the option of one or more of the parties thereto, but not at the option of the other or others, is a voidable contract;

(j) A contract which ceases to be enforceable by law becomes void when it ceases to be enforceable.
