The correct answer is: A. Section 68 to 72.
Quasi-contract is a legal term used to describe a situation in which a court will impose a legal obligation on a party even though there is no contract between the parties. This can happen in situations where one party has benefited from the actions of another party, or where one party has suffered a loss as a result of the actions of another party.
The Indian Contract Act does not use the term “quasi-contract” explicitly, but it does recognize the concept of quasi-contractual obligations in sections 68 to 72. These sections deal with the following topics:
- Section 68: Obligation of person who has received money or property for another
- Section 69: Obligation of person who has obtained a benefit by fraud or coercion
- Section 70: Obligation of person who has obtained a benefit under a void contract
- Section 71: Obligation of person who has obtained a benefit under a voidable contract
In each of these sections, the law imposes an obligation on a party to pay money or return property to another party, even though there is no contract between the parties. This is because the law recognizes that it would be unjust for one party to benefit from the actions of another party without any obligation to compensate them.
Quasi-contractual obligations are an important part of the law of contracts. They provide a way to ensure that justice is done in situations where there is no contract between the parties.
