Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) 1973 Others

Principle: Whosoever commits any act forbidden by the Indian Penal code with a view to obtain the consent of any person to enter into an agreement, he cannot get the agreement enforced by law but the person whose consent has been so obtained may get the agreement enforced by law. The Indian Penal code defines various offences and prescribes punishments therefor.

Facts: A obtains the consent of B to enter into an agreement by an act amounting to criminal intimidation under the Indian Penal Code. A brings a case against B for performance of agreement.

A will succeed in the case

A may succeed in the case

B will succeed in the case

B will not succeed in the case

Explanation:

Since A had used criminal intimidation to obtain 3's consent, B will succeed and A will not be able to enforce the agreement.
In the face of all incorrect options (3) seems to be best answer. Though (2)sees to be a tempting option, the principle says the person coercing cannot get the contract enforced. So it is not a question ofmay, he cannot get the contract enforced at all.
