MH LAWCET 2017 PAPER

MEMORY BASED

LEGAL APTITUDE AND LEGAL REASONING

1. PRINCIPLE: When an offer is accepted by a person to whom it is made, it becomes a

promise. But this promise will become legally binding only when the acceptance of the offer

is unconditional.

FACTS: Ram makes an offer to sell his house to Shyam for ₹50 lacs. Shyam accepts this offer

but wants to pay the price of the house in five quarterly instalments. Ram does not agree to

it. Thereafter Shyam agrees to pay the price of the house in the way as originally desired by

Ram. But Ram does not reply to it. Can Shyam compel Ram to sell his house to him?

(a) Shyam can compel Ram to sell his house because Shyam ultimately agrees to pay the price

as originally desired by Ram.

(b) Shyam can compel Ram to sell his house because Shyam in the first instance substantially

complied with the desire of Ram.

(c) Shyam can compel Ram to sell his house because Ram's offer does not exclude the payment

of price in installments.

(d) Shyam cannot compel Ram to sell his house because Shyam imposes a new condition about

payment of price of the house while accepting the offer which is not ultimately accepted by

Ram.

2.PRINCIPLE: 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. The expression of willingness/desire results in a valid proposal only when it is

made/addressed to some person(s).

FACTS: 'X' makes the following statement in an uninhabited hall: 'I wish to sell my mobile phone for

₹ 1,000.'

Which of the following derivations is CORRECT?

(a) 'X' made a statement that resulted in a promise

(b)'X' made a statement that resulted in a proposal

(c) 'X' made a statement that did not result in any proposal

(d)'X' made a statement that resulted in an agreement.

3.PRINCIPLE: Acceptance (of offer) must be communicated by the offeror to the offeror so as to give

rise to a binding obligation. The expression 'by the offeror to the offeror' includes communication

between their authorised agents.

FACTS: 'X' made an offer to buy Y's property for a stipulate price. Y' accepted it and communicated

his acceptance to 'Z', a stranger.


(a) Y's acceptance resulted in an agreement

(b) Y's acceptance did not result in any agreement

(c) Y's acceptance resulted in a contract

(d) Y's acceptance resulted in a promise.

4.PRINCIPLE: Acceptance should be made while the offer is still subsisting. The offeror is free to

retract his offer at any time before his offer gets accepted by the offeror. Once the offer is

withdrawn or is lapsed, it is not open to be accepted so as to give rise to a contract. Similarly, if a

time is prescribed within which the offer is to be accepted, then, the offer must be accepted within

the prescribed time. And, if no time is prescribed, then, the acceptance must be made within a

reasonable time. 'What is a reasonable time', is a question of fact which is to be determined by

taking into account all the relevant facts and surrounding circumstances.

FACTS: 'X' makes an offer to 'Y' to sell his equipment for ₹ 1,000.00. No time is specified for the

acceptance. 'Y' sends his reply two years after receiving the offer.


(a) There arises a contract between 'X' and ' Y' to sell/buy the equipment in question for ₹ 1,000.00

(b) There does not arise any contract between 'X' and ' Y' to sell/buy the equipment in question for ₹

1,000.00

(c) 'X' is bound by his offer, and hence, cannot reject the acceptance made by 'Y'

(d) There arises a promise by 'Y' to buy the equipment.

5-Principle: Agreements, the meaning of which is not certain, or capable of being made certain, are void. Facts: A horse was bought for a certain price coupled with a promise to give 500 more if the horse proved lucky.




(a) This is a valid agreement (b) This agreement is void for uncertainty because it is very difficult to determine what luck, bad or good, the horse had brought to the buyer (c) The agreement is partially valid and par-tially void (d) None of the above 6.PRINCIPLE: Generally an agreement without consideration is not valid. Therefore, in order to make

a valid agreement, some consideration which may have some value in the eyes of law, is essentially

required.

FACTS: William has an old car of which he makes seldom use. He voluntarily enters into an

agreement with Smith to sell this car for rupees ten thousand. Thereafter one Anson approaches

William and offers to buy that car for rupees one lac as the car was one which Anson has been

searching for long. Now William wants to cancel his agreement with Smith and refuses to deliver the

car to him saying that consideration (price) for the car promised by Smith is negligible and,

therefore, agreement with him cannot be said to be valid one.

(a) William can cancel his agreement with Smith as the consideration involved in that is really

inadequate

(b) William cannot cancel his agreement with Smith as the sale of car for rupees ten thousand was

voluntary and this price has some value in the eyes of law.

(c) William can cancel his agreement with Smith as he was ignorant about the value/price of the car

for which it could be sold.

(d) William can cancel his Agreement with Smith as he is entitled to get full market value/price of his

car.

7. Principle: One of the principles of natural justice is Nemo judex in causa sua, which means that no one should be a judge in his own cause. In other words. no person can judge a case in which he has an interest. Facts: X, a member of the selection board for government service, was also a candidate for selection for the same service.

(a) Selection of X is against the principle of natural justice (h) Selection of X is not against the principle of natural justice




to) Non-selection of X will be against the principles of natural justice (d) Non-participation of X in the board deliberations will render his selection valid 8. Principle: Trade dispute means any dispute between employers and workmen or between or between employers and employers which is connected with the employment or non-employment, or the terms of employment or the conditions of labour, of any person. Disputes connected with the non-employment must be under-stood to include a dispute connected with a dismissal. discharge, removal or retrenchment o fa workman.

Directions (Q.111-120): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given

below it.

Time was when people looked heavenward and prayed, “Ye Gods, give us rain, keep drought away.”

Today there are those who pray. “Give us rain, keep El Nino away.” El Nino and its atmospheric

equivalent, called the Southern Oscillation, are together referred to as ENSO, and are household words

today. Meteorologists recognize it as often being responsible for natural disaster worldwide. But this

wisdom dawned only after countries suffered, first from the lack of knowledge, and then from the lack

of co-ordination between policy making and the advances in scientific knowledge.

Put simply, El Nino is a weather event restricted to certain tropical shores, especially the Peruvian coast.

The event has diametrically opposite impacts on the land and sea. The Peruvian shore is a desert. But

every few years, an unusually warm ocean current - El Nino - warms up the normally cold surface-

waters off the Peruvian coast, causing very heavy rains in the early half of the year.

And then, miraculously, the desert is matted green. Crops like cotton, coconuts and banana grow on the

otherwise stubbornly barren land. These are the Peruvians’ anos de abundencia or years of abundance.

The current had come to be termed El Nino, or the Christ Child because it usually appears as an

enhancement if a mildly warm current that normally occurs here around every Christmas.

But this boon on land is accompanied by oceanic disasters. Normally, the waters off the South American

coast are among the most productive in the world because of a constant upswelling of nutrient rich cold

waters from the ocean depths. During an El Nino, however waters are stirred up only from near the

surface.

The nutrient-crunch pushes down primary production, disrupting the food chain. Many marine species,

including anchoveta (anchovies) temporarily disappear.

This is just one damning effect of El Nino. Over the years its full impact has been studied and what the

Peruvians once regarded as manna, is now seen as a major threat.

111. Meteorologists took time to understand El Nino because-

(a) it was neither a disaster nor a boon for the people living in desert areas.

(b) they recognized it as an atmospheric equivalent and hence called it Southern Oscillation.

(c) they suffered from lack of knowledge about El Nino as they were not scientifically advanced.
