Legal Reasoning
Q1. Principle: A person who voluntarily accepts a risk with full knowledge of it cannot claim damages for harm that results from that risk. Facts: A road is closed for repair, with warning boards at both ends. Ravi reads the boards, drives through anyway, and his car is damaged by an open trench. Ravi sues the municipality for damages. Will he succeed?
- Yes, because the municipality was careless in digging the trench
- No, because he voluntarily took a known risk
- Yes, because roads must always be safe
- No, because the municipality is a public body
Show answer
Answer: B. No, because he voluntarily took a known risk
The principle applies on the facts: Ravi read the warnings and still chose to drive through, so he knowingly accepted the risk. This is the doctrine of volenti non fit injuria.
Legal Reasoning
Q2. Principle: Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a person below 18 years is not competent to contract, and an agreement with such a person is void. Facts: Aman, aged 17, agrees to sell his bike to Beena for Rs 30,000 and receives the money. He later refuses to hand over the bike. Beena sues to enforce the agreement. What is the legal position?
- Beena can enforce it because she paid in full
- Beena can enforce it because Aman received the money
- The agreement is void, so Beena cannot enforce it as a contract
- The agreement is valid but can be cancelled by Beena only
Show answer
Answer: C. The agreement is void, so Beena cannot enforce it as a contract
A minor’s agreement is void from the beginning (Section 11, and Mohori Bibee v. Dharmodas Ghose, 1903). A void agreement cannot be enforced as a contract.
Legal Reasoning
Q3. Principle: Mere silence about facts is not fraud, unless the circumstances create a duty to speak or the silence is equal to speech. Facts: Karan sells his second-hand scooter to Deepak. He does not mention that it was repainted, and Deepak does not ask. Deepak later learns of the repainting and alleges fraud. Is Karan liable for fraud?
- Yes, because every defect must be disclosed
- Yes, because Karan gained from Deepak’s ignorance
- No, because there was no duty to speak and silence alone is not fraud
- No, because second-hand goods cannot be returned
Show answer
Answer: C. No, because there was no duty to speak and silence alone is not fraud
On the stated principle, silence is not fraud when no duty to speak arises. Nothing in the facts shows Karan made a false statement or that a special duty of disclosure existed.
