Mr Anmol, who is an owner of a land want to sell and proposes this to Mr Kantilal through
letter. The letter was posted to Mr Kantilal on 1st August 2019, that is received by 4th August
2019. Mr Kantilal posts his letter of acceptance on 6th of August 2019, that reaches Mr Anmol
by 9th August. In between Mr Anmol rethought about selling of his land and sends a letter of
revocation on 7th August 2019, cancelling the offer. Will the offer given by Mr Anmol get
cancelled? Is there an agreement between Mr Anmol and Mr Kantilal.

Answer 1

In the absence of any legally binding document signed there is no legally binding agreement between Mr Anmol and Mr Kantilal.

A legally binding document is the prerequisite to a legally binding clause/agreement. The letter sent by Mr Anmol was a proposal of selling and was not a legally binding document, it was just a letter written by Mr Anmol with the intent to sell his land. Mr Kantilal expressed his desire to purchase his plot with a letter of interest but it was nowhere mentioned that the letter sent by Mr Anmol was a legally binding clause hence the offer given by Mr Anmol will get cancelled.
