UPSC SO-Steno – 2017
The correct answer is D. A contract is based on voluntary agreement, not imposition.
A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties. Essential elements of a valid contract include mutual assent (offer and acceptance), consideration, capacity, and legality. Mutual assent implies that the parties enter into the agreement voluntarily (A) and with intent (deliberately – B). Once formed correctly, the agreement is legally binding (C) on the parties. A contract cannot be legally imposed (D) on someone; it requires their free and willing consent.
